[QUOTE="brett636, post: 626879, member: 249"] MSNBC more balanced than fox news? Not according to this Pew research poll. The Pew (PEJ) report for the 2008 election cycle is out. Among the findings? FOXNEWS provided the most balanced cable coverage of the 2008 presidential election among major news outlets (CNN, MSNBC, FOXNEWS) and likely the most balanced of all six outlets (NBC, CBS, ABC included), although they oddly didnt release the latter three network's numbers. Keep in mind, while Pew bills itself as Independent, it certainly leans to the left, which is probably why they didnt release all the numbers. God forbid they stated FoxNews was the most fair of any television network, as it's doubtful any network bested the Fox numbers below since the Fox positive/negative are almost a perfect match. Interestingly, while they released the numbers for MSNBC and FOX, they didnt release individual CNN numbers, choosing to say it closely reflected the "Total Coverage" numbers below, putting it somewhere between MSNBC and FOX. The Best (least biased) and the Worst (most biased) news coverage? BEST (FOXNEWS) Positive Obama Stories 25% Positive McCain Stories 22% Negative Obama Stories 40% Negative McCain Stories 40% WORST (MSDNC) Positive Obama Stories 73% Positive McCain Stories 10% Negative Obama Stories 14% Negative McCain Stories 43% TOTAL COVERAGE (all media added together - 2,412 stories from 48 outlets) Positive Obama Stories 36% Positive McCain Stories 14% Negative Obama Stories 29% Negative McCain Stories 57% [/QUOTE]
