Well, do you suppose Jeff Gannon was "harder" on Bush?

Wot?

The same study that found that the media was rougher on Bush (v Kerry), was rougher on Gore (v Bush).

You applaud one finding, and for the other you fire off the snivveling "liberal bias" line.

Come on man.

You either find them trustworthy, in both instances, or you don't.

I don't recognize the study you are referring to at all. I personally feel the mainstream media has been hard on republicans for many years. The mainstream media was vicious on Bush this election right from CBS news down to my favorite slob Mike Moore. Coincidently the subject of mainstream media bias starts popping up all over and about time. All of sudden mainstream media says “OK – we were hard on Bush this election but we’re not biased at all why we were harder on Gore in 2000.” I don't buy it - To me that’s typical liberal spin. Isn’t it nice Nash that you and I can establish a competitive dialogue like this all because Al Gore created this place?

You know what?

You just jampacked so much retardedness into such a small but furious blur of type that it's... well... it's not really that ideal of a scenario to try and wade through it piece by idiotic piece. "Where to start" becomes a bonafied show stopper.

When he tries to push his film into every home in this country I consider him to be mainstream media.

Gore sucks balls, but he never made any FUBARs on the order of Chimpler's easter egg hunt in Iraq.

Looking at public perceptions of the media, the report showed that more people thought the media was unfair to both Kerry and Bush than to the candidates four years earlier, but fewer people thought news organizations had too much influence on the outcome of the election.

"It may be that the expectations of the press have sunk enough that they will not sink much further. People are not dismayed by disappointments in the press. They expect them," the authors of the report said.
That's the only part of the article worth reading.
