Reporters Trying to Help Barack Obama Win?
Posted by: Flap in Barack Obama, Media, Media Bias, New York Times, President 2008
The belief that reporters are trying to help Barack Obama win the fall campaign has grown by five percentage points over the past month. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found that 49% of voters believe most reporters will try to help Obama with their coverage, up from 44% a month ago.
Just 14% believe most reporters will try to help John McCain win, little changed from 13% a month ago. Just one voter in four (24%) believes that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage.
With the three television news anchors fawning over “The One” in Iraq and Europe is there any wonder?
As Flap said before NBC News is unwatchable. Either it is a flashback to Tim Russert time or it is Obamamania.
The blowback: More layoffs are forecast for the MSM, including the New York Times.
