NBC's Palin Coverage "Most Positive of Any TV Organization...Including Fox"
A just-released PEJ study reveals what many of us already know about the TV news coverage of Election '08 — but some of the findings may surprise you. The Project for Excellence in Journalism found that MSNBC's "more positive toward Democrats and more negative toward Republicans" tone "was not reflected in the coverage of its broadcast sibling, NBC News."

Indeed, NBC's coverage of Palin was the most positive of any TV organization studied, including Fox.
The PEJ also determined that ABC's World News, the CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News "stood out for being more neutral-and also less negative-than most other news outlets." But the morning shows were more negative:

44% of the morning show stories were clearly negative, compared with 34% on the nightly news and 42% in the press overall.
The not-so-surprising findings, after the jump...

1. Kelly O'Donnell never has a bad thing to say about McCain

She must be one of the last people to be following him around.

5. it is really unfair when a campaign endlessly fucks up and that is considered negative coverage

cause news is reporting the news

negative coverage to me is unwarrented bullshit coverage that is made up

7. I don't get this expectation of even coverage

How in the world can you expect the Lions to get as much positive coverage as the Titans?

The "fair and balanced" has made coverage stupid. You (should) earn positive and negative coverage based on reality.

8. Brokaw must be compensating for the jabs at Palin that Tina Fey & SNL have delivered.
