Negative Networks
Broadcast news coverage of President Bush was three times as negative as coverage of Senator John Kerry over the last two months, that according to a study by left-leaning watchdog group MediaChannel.org. The difference was strongest on CBS, where Media Channel found that 35 percent of statements about President Bush were negative compared with 8 percent of those about Senator Kerry.
Meanwhile, the Media Research Center notes that of the broadcast networks, only NBC led its Tuesday night newscast with Kerry's candid accusation that Republicans are a -- "crooked...lying group," but back in 2000, ABC, CBS and NBC all led with then-candidate George Bush's comment calling a New York Times reporter a -- "major league A-Hole."
