In study, evidence of liberal-bias bias Cable talking heads accuse broadcast networks of liberal bias -- but a think tank finds that
ABC, NBC and CBS were tougher on Barack Obama than on John McCain in recent weeks.
During the evening news, the majority of statements from reporters and anchors on all three networks are neutral, the center found. And
when network news people ventured opinions in recent weeks, 28% of the statements were positive for Obama and 72% negative.Network reporting also tilted against McCain, but far less dramatically, with 43% of the statements positive and 57% negative, according to the Washington-based media center.

When it comes to media bias, McCain is the winner.
