Fight Back - Media Watch Project
Media Matters: "According to an analysis by Media Tenor International Fight Back - Media Watch Project - http://democrats.com/media

Media Matters: "According to an analysis by Media Tenor International
(an independent and nonpartisan research organization), ABC, CBS, FOX News Channel, and NBC evening news reports on Kerry's military service far outnumbered reports on other topics relating to Bush and Kerry. The analysis surveyed the period of August 1 through August 29; the 'other topics' included campaigning and campaign strategy; foreign and domestic policy; personality; and terrorism.

Negative statements about Kerry's military service significantly outnumbered positive statements on both the network evening news programs and on FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume.' More outrageous still, the networks slams of Kerry relied heavily on 'anonymous sources', with FOX (naturally!) the worse, citing anonymous sources for 12 negative statements."
