REPORT: Only 13% of FauxNews coverage of Obama has been favorable.

[jefferson_dem]

The nonpartisan research group Center for Media and Public Affairs along with California's Chapman University released a study that found the nightly newscasts devoted 27 hours, 44 minutes to Pres. Obama's presidency in his first 50 days. That compares to 7 hours, 42 minutes for Pres. George W. Bush and 15 hours, 2 minutes for Pres. Bill Clinton during the first 50 days of their first terms.

<SNIP>

The first half hour of Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier," which the study says most closely resembles the network evening newscasts, devoted 10 hours 24 minutes to the Obama administration, nearly as much airtime as CBS gave him.

But Fox News stands apart from its competitors here - only 13% of comments* were considered favorable. On ABC, 57% of the comments were favorable, compared to 58% for CBS and 61% for NBC.

*The figures are based on comments made by reporters and sources not affiliated with either political party.

1. It looks like CBS is probably the least biased network.

FOX is a joke. FOX is more negative than NBC is positive. How the fuck does that work out?

2. That number sounds a little high, doesn't it?

:P

3. So faux is lying their

propagandistic asses off.

4. I wonder if Obama gets a lot of news coverage, because he always makes sure

that he is out front in the media's eye?

They shouldn't compare his coverage to that of Bush's in 2001.
Too many people didn't want Bush there before and after the Supreme Court Decision.

5. I bet the numbers were flipped for Fox under Bush.

and both sets are inversely proportional to the favorability rates for each President with the public.
