westvirginia Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just coincidence, I'm sure... Over the last three days, ABC's World News devoted almost six times as much coverage to Senator Jim Bunning and his temporary hold-up of an unemployment bill as the program did for the ongoing revelations that Democratic Charlie Rangel violated House ethics with his trips to the Caribbean. World News investigated and followed the Republican for four minutes and 38 seconds over two days. In comparison, the program could only manage a scant 48 seconds of coverage for Rangel. (Anchor Diane Sawyer on Wednesday finally asked George Stephanopoulos about the news that Rangel was stepping down from his powerful Ways and Means committee.) The difference here is that Rangel's story was an actual scandal and ABC only treated Bunning's actions, which amounted to not giving unanimous consent to a $10 billion spending bill, as a scandal.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Media Bias pointed out by a biased right wing site like Newsbusters.org? Seriously though, clear all the bums out. I don't care what party they belong to. Clean house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
