Only Half A Loaf

Only half a loaf

If you watch one of the big networks for most of your news you are getting only half a loaf.  Many studies have documented this. 

Perhaps you are happy with half a loaf.  Perhaps you do not realize how little of the loaf you are being served.  I know that is true, from many friends.  When I mention something that has not been offered by their network news, they wonder if I landed from Saturn.  “Never heard that before,” is a comment I hear a lot.

The Media Research Center recently explained why you may have “never heard that before”. It looked at the nightly news for the first 100 days of President Obama’s administration.

In those 100 days, ABC’s “World News,” “NBC Nightly News” and “CBS Evening News” ran 852 stories about the new administration. Consider how much coverage that is.

Now you should know by now these networks are in love with President Obama. You should know by now they have skewed their coverage of news to the left for years. However, you might think that if they churned out 852 stories about the new team in Washington in 100 days they might have at least glanced in the other direction. 

After all, 46 percent of voters did vote for the other candidate. You might think the networks would occasionally look at the side of the coin those 60 million voters might be wondering about.
