Well, actually, there is. But that should come as no surprise. Here's the link: http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/16/late-night-comics-skewer-republicans-seven-study-finds/
This page is from Fox News, but that doesn't change the group that conducted the study: The Center for Media and Public Affairs. Who are they? They are a nonpartisan, not-for-profit research think-tank located in Washington, DC. Their website is here: http://www.cmpa.com/
Here's what they had to say:
"The Center for Media and Public Affairs, a media analysis group, kept a tally of jokes told about the presidential contenders on the "Late Show" and "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" in the five weeks after McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate and vaulted the little-known Alaska governor into the national spotlight.
The total: Republicans, 286. Democrats, 42." No liberal bias ... move along, please.
But you won't find the link on ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, MSNBC or any of the other networks. Why? They, in my opinion, want Obama to win.
How about nasty, nasty pasting from the Media Research Center, another nonpartisan, not-for-profit media watchdog? Here's their link: http://www.mrc.org/press/2008/press20081016.asp (This is a link to the article, the main site itself is http://www.mrc.org/ They are located in Alexandria, Virginia.)
"“Okay, Sen. Obama, we will cede you the point that the Fox News Channel, by accurately portraying you and your record, has brought you down 2-3% in the polls. Now it’s time for you to concede that were it not for NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, etc., etc., etc. Sen. John McCain would be up by 20%.”
Oh, the hate that must be in their heart for speaking the truth about the Obamedia!! (Sarcasm now OFF.)
How about this one: http://newsbyus.com/index.php/article/1781 The title of the article? "A Record of Blatant Bias: Four Debates - Four pro-Obama Moderators."
Now let's take a look at an AOL Poll. The question asked is "Do you think the FBI will find evidence of a national voter registration fraud scam?" As of this writing, 60,548 votes had been cast. Here are the results:
Yes - 45,217 votes (75%)
No - 10,612 votes (18%)
Don't know - 4,719 votes (7%)
Here's that link: http://webcenter.polls.aol.com/modular.jsp?resType=7&popup=yes&pollId=153956&channel=aol_us_election&view=153676&template=1609
(This is not a scientifically accurate poll. But it is telling.) The AOL Poll asked another question, however. "How concerned are you about voter registration fraud?" Here are those results: (60,250 votes cast total)
Very - 46,443 votes (77%)
Somewhat - 7,498 (12%)
Not at all - 6,309 (11%)
This poll was not scientific, either. Both polls will admit that if you look at their "Note on poll results." That link is here: http://webcenter.polls.aol.com/modular.jsp?resType=7&popup=yes&pollId=153957&channel=aol_us_election&view=153677&template=1576
Granted, we are in deep trouble. No liberal bias in the media? How about that Rasmussen study I referenced in an earlier post?
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/55_say_media_bias_bigger_problem_than_campaign_cash
Here's what I wrote earlier under "I Hadn't Expected This"
"http://news.yahoo.com/s/rasmussen/20080904/pl_rasmussen/palinmedia20080904;_ylt=AvU.bb3dYLG5zpYlPdRqnFph24cA
Folks, please put down whatever (if anything) that you're eating or drinking.
"The findings, nevertheless, are troublesome for the embattled news industry and parallel what voters said in surveys earlier this summer. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of voters now believe most reporters try to help the candidate they want to win, and 49% believe reporters are trying to help Obama this year. Only 14% think they are trying to help McCain. In another survey, 55% said media bias is a bigger problem for the electoral process than large campaign donations. "
There's the entire quote, complete with their (NOT MINE!) hyperlinks. Let me distill these numbers down:
68% think most reporters try to help "their" candidate. (Yes, a 'duh' moment.)
49% believe that reporters are trying to help Obama!!! THAT'S NEARLY HALF!!!
55% believe that liberal media bias is a bigger problem campaign contributions.
51% believe that reporters are trying to hurt Sarah Palin!!!! THAT IS OVER HALF!!
Yes, you read that correctly. Remember, these are Rasmussen's numbers, not mine.
68% think most reporters try to help "their candidate.
49% believe that reporters are trying to help Obama.
And now we've got ACORN! Is it just barely possible that they're trying to throw the election for Obama? They're being investigated in 14 states and now by the FBI for voter registration fraud.
Is it just barely possible?
