Is anyone who has watched both FOX and MSNBC surprised by
this report?
In writing about the Pew study released today, I was struck by the
big story of how negative coverage on several levels of presidential
politics had become.
I think this is big trouble for democracy,
especially the hostile level of discourse in social media. And that it's
something the media need to address collectively after the election....
ON MSNBC, the ratio of negative to positive stories on GOP candidate Mitt Romney was 71 to 3.
That's
not a news channel. That's a propaganda machine...
I thought show host Sean
Hannity of Fox News defined party propagandist. But while his channel
was bad, it wasn't as bad-boy biased as MSNBC.
The ratio of negative to positive stories in Fox's coverage of President Obama was 46 to 6. Full study here...
