Media Bias

Media Matters' columnist Jamison Foser has posted an interesting article called "Media Matters: The Right's "bias" charade." He covers the last 15 years of media coverage on Presidential Candidates, as well as comments on PEJ's (Project for Excellence in Journalism) recent study. Foser's article can be found at MM, while PEJ's at PEJ.

Foser's article points to database searches of negative media reports, proving otherwise, as well as concern over some of PEJ's methodology. For instance, they ignored Radio talk shows, which are highly conservative. They also rated as negative reporting any report of negative poll numbers, despite the fact that this is simple reporting. Anyway, an interesting article worth reading.
