Reaction to CMPA Study Posted on Rival Site
Those of you who read the Keeler Report, you saw his recent commentary regarding the press release from Center for Media and Public Affairs. Mediamatters.org posted the following response to that press release:
"In a November 1 press release that professed to summarize the results of CMPA's survey of nightly news coverage from Labor Day to Election Day, the center proclaimed that "John Kerry is getting the most favorable network news coverage of any presidential candidate in the past quarter century." As of November 22, however, CMPA had yet to release the full study to substantiate the claims from its press release. But an earlier CMPA study, which surveyed nightly news' election coverage from September 7 to October 1, may hint at the final results. That study found that evaluations of Kerry on ABC, CBS, and NBC's nightly news programs were 38 percent positive for Kerry and only 29 percent positive for Bush -- a nine-point discrepancy favoring Kerry. But the study also found that Special Report evaluations were 31 percent positive for Bush and only 21 percent positive for Kerry -- a ten-point discrepancy favoring Bush."
"An earlier CMPA study, which analyzed coverage from June 1 through September 2 (but only analyzed Special Report starting on August 1), found an even more striking discrepancy. The networks' evaluations of Kerry were 61 percent positive compared with 41 percent positive for Bush -- a 20-percent discrepancy. But FOX evaluated Bush positively 45 percent of the time, and Kerry only 17 percent. CMPA observed: "Fox News Channel was about as negative towards Bush as the broadcast networks [55 percent vs. 59 percent], but Kerry's evaluations were negative by a five-to-one margin."

Media Matters is a liberal group who has nothing better to do than sit around and listen to Rush Limbaugh and critize things he says. CPMA is non-partisan, Media Matters is not. I think there are better causes to take up as oppossed to defending the media, Chief Source. Media Matters could find the Republican Convention Speech got too much coverage on Fox (they probablyt actually did "discover" this)
There in lies the brilliance of Fox News. They found a "niche market" - half of America that thought news was slanted left - and their ratings speak for themselves. The left can make fun of Fox News all they want, but they wish they had such a powerful outlet to call their own. Together, CNN/MSNBC/NBC/ABC/CBS/WP/NYT are bigger than Fox, but each one on their own cant match it. CNN used to be king, but they are no different from anyone else now.
Its not about too liberal or too conservative. We can argue and make our own stats.
Its about this: The entire media is a joke and a failure.
They are driven by ratings and profits, and there is no way, under that structure that there will ever be honest investigation and critique.
And either way, there should have been more negative stories on Bush because he has been doing such a bad job as president.
Also, the glorification of the war is indirectly a major endorsement of Bush. That doesnt figure into these stats.
The liberal media....what a joke.
Fair points made by Ben that Media Matters is a liberal group. I honestly hadn't heard of the CMPA before so I thought I would post the other side of the story for our shared readership.
I've been thinking about whether CBS would appoint a conservative leaning anchor to replace rather to try and cut into the "Fox News" and red state ratings. Maybe they could do a 180 and be the conservative network.
If Tim Russert were to take over I would switch to CBS for the 6:30 news.
