I have a bad case of the fat fingers. here is the link I was trying to post on Media bias:
http://www.mrc.org/SpecialReports/2005/sum/sum101405.asp
TV’s Bad News Brigade
ABC, CBS and NBC’s Defeatist Coverage of the War in Iraq
In it they delve into a statistical analysis of the Media Bias on the coverage of the war, and break it down in a clear and concise way:
Ever since the United States and an international coalition toppled Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship in the spring of 2003, the Iraq war has dominated network newscasts. Since then, there’s been a lot of undeniably bad news, as terrorists have launched a savage campaign to thwart efforts to establish democracy in a major Arab state. But are network reporters giving the public an inordinately gloomy portrait of the situation, as some critics charge? Are the positive accomplishments of U.S. soldiers and Iraq’s new democratic leaders being lost in a news agenda dominated by assassinations, car bombings and casualty reports?
The answer to both questions is: Yes.
Don’t take my word for it, read the whole story and comment.
BTTT...
