For example, what was the study that chiefzilla posted based on? Volume of favorable coverage versus volume of unfavorable coverage? What kind of measure is that? What if one candidate deserved far more favorable coverage than he got and the other deserved far more unfavorable coverage than he got? Isn't equally favorable and unfavorable coverage for both in that scenario actually evidence of bias? How does that study take this into account? As far as I can tell, it doesn't.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you were talking about Obama here.

I agree with your "candidate deserved it" statement, and I even mentioned that aspect in my other posts. That's the main reason why the whole "liberal media hates the Rs" is ridiculous to begin with. An R has apparently never done anything that would ever justify 'negative' media coverage. Mitt calls half the population worthless--blame the media! How dare they report the words that he said! Since you believe that the media hatred or love of a particular candidate can't be measured, you would agree that the right-wing whining about it is ridiculous and they and their candidates should take responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming the media for their misfortunes. Correct?

In 2008 they did. And it was well worth the effort to know every school he attended and every person he ever talked to before he turned 10 years old. Knowing whether he was radicalized by "mentors" at age 6 was important.

I don't deny that Romney had more newsworthy stuff to talk about. But its impossible to deny that the media was harsh on Romney in ways they weren't with Obama. That being said, I don't think that's the case today. I think the media is finally willing to be critical of Obama in the same way they were with Bush and Romney. And by the way, I think their harshness to Bush was justified. |

1. Republicans have certainly done things worthy of criticism. They get more than their fair share for those things though, while criticism-worthy democrats gets less. Your "that's the main reason why" statement is a conclusion that doesn't follow from the premise. 2. I don't believe that it can't be measured. It's like economics. You can do all kinds of measuring, but two well-informed experts using different models can come to diametrically opposite conclusions. That doesn't mean that they're both equally wrong though. 3. The media is a problem for Republicans. Moreso than for democrats because of the media bias that you have problems detecting. It's not the only problem though.

While you haven't bothered to admit anything, no one is fooled into thinking you're the middle of the road guy you once claimed to be. There is a media bias reality whether you can see it through your filter or not.

I Watched The New Mitt Romney Documentary With My Wife And It Was A Huge Mistake
The compelling new Netflix film reveals, among other things, the ideal Mormon husband. Thanks a lot, Mitt. posted on January 27, 2014 at 2:06pm EST McKay Coppins It wasn’t long before my every husbandly action was being compared to the extended campaign commercial. When my wife caught me scrolling through Twitter on my phone during dinner, trying to keep up with the frenetic pace of the campaign I covered for a living, I was gently encouraged to follow the example of Mitt Romney, who, we learn in the campaign video, “left his briefcase by the door and … never thought about work again until he left the next morning.” Whenever a spousal spat began to escalate, I was reminded that Mitt Romney was unfailingly sweet to his wife. (“We could never, ever say anything bad about my mom,” Mitt’s son, Josh, helpfully recalls in the video.) And as we prepared for the arrival of our first child, the footage of Romney horsing around with his kids, his tie loosened after a long day at Bain Capital, served as the omnipresent backdrop to every discussion. “What would Mitt do?” came the inevitable chiding response whenever I failed to live up to the candidate’s shining example. http://www.buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins...-my-wife-and-i

Funny thing is how you've gone to great lengths to argue there is no way of verifying that. I guess we'll have to trust your unbiased opinion.

I didn't say there's no way to verify it. I said we're not going to do it with competing studies that have strengths and flaws that we don't fully understand, and assumptions and definitions that we don't understand and probably wouldn't agree on if we did. I'm not asking anyone to trust my opinion. Coverage is there for everyone to see for themselves and make up their own minds. Some of us will be right and some of you will be wrong.

The bias is in journalism, hard reporting. Journalists were trained to show us things that are troubling, then need to change, then we need to progress. No one wants to go to Rwanda and report on contented people living happy likes [I'm sure some exist in spots. They want to report on misery that needs ameliorating. Only the media mode become bigger government solutions or more spending are how to help. The Sarah MclAchlan save the dogs effect [not that she wants a big government dog solution necessarily, though I'm sure she'd welcome one]. Stories became more and more 'what can we collectively do'
