From The Department of Duh
A recent study by The Project for Excellence In Journalism and the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy concerning the way the press covers the POTUS campaign had these shockers:
Stories focused more on fundraising and polls than on where candidates stood on the issues, despite a public demand for more attention to the policies, views and records of the candidates.Democrats, overall, got more coverage—and more positive ink and airtime—than Republicans.
Yeah, shocking news, I know. The press favors Democrats and the easy horse race/who’s up, who’s down, who’s got the most money reporting rather than actually giving us information we can use to make intelligent voting decisions.
No wonder the approval ratings for the press are in the tank.
