Just like so many reports before it, a joint survey by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and Harvard’s Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy – hardly a bastion of conservative orthodoxy – found that in covering the current presidential race, the media are sympathetic to Democrats and hostile to Republicans.
\nDemocrats are not only favored in the tone of the coverage. They get more coverage period. This is particularly evident on morning news shows, which “produced almost twice as many stories (51% to 27%) focused on Democratic candidates than on Republicans.”
\nThe most flagrant bias, however, was found in newspapers. In reviewing front-page coverage in 11 newspapers, the study found the tone positive in nearly six times as many stories about Democrats as it was negative.
\nBreaking it down by candidates, the survey found that Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were the favorites. “Obama’s front page coverage was 70% positive and 9% negative, and Clinton’s was similarly 61% positive and 13% negative.”
\nIn stories about Republicans, on the other hand, the tone was positive in only a quarter of the stories; in four in 10 it was negative.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
