OBAMA TREATED BY MEDIA WITH KID GLOVES? NO, SAYS STUDY
A new study has called into question claims by Republican partisans in general and John McCain backers in particular that the news media are giving Barrack Obama a free ride and have been unduly critical of McCain. As reported by today's (Monday) Los Angeles Times, the study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University found that the major broadcast networks were tougher on Obama than on McCain during the first six weeks of the general-election campaign. Other studies have indicated that Obama has received more press coverage than McCain, but the center's director, Robert T.Lichter, told the Times , "This information should blow away this silly assumption that more coverage is always better coverage."
