Remember how I was just talking about the media’s coverage of Barack Obama, and how I was convinced that although he has been receiving more coverage than John McCain, he was also receiving more negative coverage?  Well, it turns out my hunch is exactly right.  George Mason University did a study and found that the mainstream media, which includes the three big networks, was much softer on McCain than Obama, with 43% of statements about Senator McCain positive, but only 28% of statements about Obama positive.  Now, one might conclude, I suppose, that Obama is 15% worse as a candidate.  But what it shows is that the media not only doesn’t have a liberal bias, but, evidence suggests it has a conservative bias, which is something I have long believed.  You can read more of the details in the Los Angeles Times.
