FLASH! Big Media Slanted Toward Kerry!

Not that this is, you know, actual news to anybody who was paying attention last year:

A Columbia School of Journalism study released Monday found that the media took it easy on Senator John Kerry throughout the 2004 presidential campaign, with coverage of President Bush coming out three times more negative. [my emphasis]

The school's Project for Excellence in Journalism found that 36% of reports on Bush painted him in an unfavorable light, while only 12% did the same to Kerry - according to Reuters.

The Massachusetts liberal also benefited more from positive coverage, garnering 50% more stories rated as favorable than Bush.

And yet Dan Rather to this day insists that he's "independent" and "objective."

That must help explain this additional little blurb:

The Columbia group also noted a huge rise in readers who have turned to the Internet to get their news.

And guess what the FEC is salivatingly preparing to crack down on in the very near future, while the "Exempt Media" gets a pass?

And to think there are still people who actually doubt that Hillary Clinton is going to be the next President of the United States.
