A study conducted by the Center for Media and Public Affairs found an overwhelming bias towards Democratic candidates in U.S. media. Quite the shocker, huh?

The study found that three out of four evaluations of Democratic candidates’ chances of winning — such as sound bites — were positive, compared with one out of eight for Republicans. Coverage has been dominated by two major themes: the effects of the Foley scandal, and the impact the Bush presidency is having on the party’s congressional candidates.

The Foley scandal produced 59 stories alone, compared with 33 on Iraq and 31 on terrorism/national security issues. “What’s hurting Republican candidates is the media’s focus on two non-candidates: Mark Foley and George W. Bush,” says center director Robert Lichter.

Tell me again why Democrats support the Fairness Doctrine? Is it because they believe forcing all media outlets to present both sides of the argument would help their cause or because they just want increased governmental control?  Reporting on polls such as this one is yet another example.

It’s fusilli media!  Why fusilli, Jerry?  Because you’re silly.
Me? I’d just be happy if the media as a whole relegated politics to the back stage and focussed on why we’re actually fighting against radical Islam. That is if they can resist the urge to run Islamic Army of Iraq propoganda using an “intermediary” as opposed to just surfing the Internet to find the snuff videos. The American public, and I daresay all publics at large, are woefully uninformed as to who the enemy is and why they are an enemy to all freedom loving individuals.
