Just 14 percent of the stories about John McCain from the conventions through the final presidential debate were positive in tone, according to a study released today, while nearly 60 percent were negative—the least favorable coverage of any of the 4 candidates on the ticket.
The study, by The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism...took a “cautious and conservative approach,” only judging a story positive or negative if the slant was very clear.

It’s beginning to appear that there just might be some bias in the MSM’s reporting.

If Pew came up with this figure using only blatant slant, what would it have been had they included all the stories with the subtle inferences and innuendoes?

Imus is on with Cavuto (FOX) right now and called Katie Couric a “rodent”. Neil asked him to repeat it and Imus said “I said she is a rodent”. LOL

This is interesting since 0bama is “the one” with a 60% negative, 14% positive background and agenda.

Imus also just told FOX (Cavuto’s show) to quit showing the outdated photo of him that makes him look like an “old lesbian”. Imus is funny today.
