Does Fox News Coverage = Republican Campaign Contribution?

Post Reply New Topic

Seriously, how about you look at Fox News' actual coverage, the information shows that they treated both Obama and McCain about the same when it came to news coverage, which is a stark difference from the rest of the media.

You're the one who initially provided the link to the article. Now you're telling us that it isn't honest?

Look at the graphs pandabear, then look at what the article is saying, they don't match. Pew is a left wing source.

If you actually look at the data you would find that in 2008, Fox News actually had the most balanced coverage of the Presidential Candidates despite what Pew Research is claiming.

On negative stories there is a 0 point difference between Obama and McCain in Fox News coverage. Contrast that to the overall media where there is 28 point difference in Obama's favor.

Not only did Pew Research inadvertantly prove what Conservatives have been saying about the media for years, but they also torpedoed their own credibility by trying to deny this fact.

look at the graph and then look at the sentence they do not contradict at all.
the take away is that on the issue of Obama in the run-up to the election MSNBC was Less balanced then FOX
Non-Fox broadcast news on the other hand was more balanced than fox.

scale of balance
non-fox broadcast news > Fox News > MSNBC (a station nobody watches)
have you ever heard of an interior solution?

Pew claims to be "non-partisan." It is also a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. What is the basis of your claim that it is a "left wing" source?



You and I both know that this isn't true, regardless of Pew's data.



That clearly isn't accurate.



I don't take much stock in what Pew has to say about anything.

Uh the graphs were comparing Fox News to the Media Overall, unless MSNBC was giving McCain 100% negative coverage and Obama 100% positive coverage the results shown in the graph indicate there was more than simply MSNBC being biased in favor of Obama.

That means CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS would have had to been factored into those numbers.

So their own data is contradicting what they are saying.

Would be true if all the data was in the charts (it was not)
the charts only say FOX was Better tha MSNBC not that the were the best.
don't post if you don't read.
and please stop making you own lack of reading ability the main point of your argument.
the "I am right because I can't read good" is getting old.

But, this is what really makes Inuyasha so charming and endearing.
