Thank God this stuff will be ending soon (I hope so anyway)…John McCain supporters who believe they haven’t gotten a fair shake from the media during the Republican’s candidacy against Barack Obama have a new study to point to. Comments made by sources, voters, reporters and anchors that aired on ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts over the past two months reflected positively on Obama in 65 percent of cases, compared to 31 percent of cases with regards to McCain, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs.This tells us that the Center for Media and Public Affairs “was founded in the mid 1980s by S. Robert Lichter and Linda Lichter.[2] According to Salon.com, "the seed money for [the] center was solicited by the likes of Pat Buchanan and Pat Robertson.”
Also, other culprits who have contributed funding to this group would be the Scaife Foundations, as well as the John M. Olin foundation affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute and the Project for the New American Century, among other right-wing suspects. And if you’ve guessed that they’ve been screaming about “liberal bias” for years, then you win a free DVD of “An American Carol” (giving them away gratis is probably the only way that wretched attempt at comedy will generate any favorable publicity).

But they'll never concede that the negative stories may well have been mostly about the negative campaigning, will they?
Nope - good point.
