From this article on Rasmussen’s poll:
Twenty-seven percent (27%) believe most reporters are trying to help Obama and 21% in Obama’s party think reporters are trying to help the Republican candidate. Among Republicans, 78% believe reporters are trying to help Obama and 10% see most offering unbiased coverage.

This national telephone survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports July 19, 2008. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

Using the previous approach, N = 1000, N/400 = 2.5
Using the prior approach, we’d have 78% pub view - 21% dem view = 57 liberal media bias points. This agrees with anecdotal evidence that media coverage for Obama on this cycle was over-the-top liberal in its biased approach.
If we plug this back into the equation,
N=1000, N/400 = 2.5
Previously, we had
MBR: 18 points of liberal bias
Skews: 19 points of liberal bias
Polling Point: 12.5 (pretending to use my data) points of liberal bias
If the contract were to expire today, it would have ONE opportunistic element, so the value would be (18 + 19 + 12.5)/4 (assuming you weight all 3 the same) + (2.5*57)/4 = 48 points of liberal bias.
Americans See Liberal Media Bias on TV News
By a 39% to 20% margin, American adults believe that the three major broadcast networks deliver news with a bias in favor of liberals.

The Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of 1,433 adults was conducted on July 11-12, 2007. The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
.....
39 % - 20 % = 19 points of liberal bias
N=1433, N/400 = 3.58
Previously, we had
MBR: 18 points of liberal bias
Skews: 19 points of liberal bias
Polling Point: 12.5 (pretending to use my data) points of liberal bias
If the contract were to expire today, it would have ONE opportunistic element, so the value would be (18 + 19 + 12.5)/4 (assuming you weight all 3 the same) + (3.58*19)/4 = 29.4 points of liberal bias.
