The Obama Mania Media

The study is in and shows that the Media loves Obama, not that we didn't know this anyways. The real problem with this study is that CNN and MSNBC were not in it. If they were the hours of coverage would be a lot higher with most of it positive.

President Obama is getting more coverage, and more positive coverage, from the media than his two predecessors.

A new study of his first 50 days in office reveals the network evening newscasts devoted 27 hours, 44 minutes of coverage to his presidency. George W. Bush received just under eight hours in his first 50 days. Bill Clinton: 15 hours.

CBS had almost 11 hours. NBC was next with nine and a half. ABC had seven and a third. The study looked at the first half-hour of "Special Report" on FOX and we had 10 hours, 24 minutes.

The coverage on the broadcast nets was judged 58 percent positive for President Obama. That compares to 33 percent for Mr. Bush and 44 percent for Mr. Clinton.

NBC was most positive at 61 percent. CBS was 58 percent, ABC 57 percent, and Special Report was 13 percent.

The study authors described this show — as "FOX News Special Report" — which most closely resembles the broadcast network newscasts."

The study did not look at CNN or MSNBC.

I am just happy that we have Fox to counter the Obama networks. There is a reason that Fox is number one and gets more viewers then all the other networks combined.
