The big bash: 86 percent of Romney coverage negative

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/aug/3/big-bash-86-percent-romney-coverage-negative


Media bias has gone from bad to ridiculous.

During Mitt Romney's overseas visit earlier this week, 86 percent of the coverage on ABC, CBS and NBC "emphasized Romney's perceived gaffes," according to a content analysis of 21 major news stories by the Media Research Center, which also compared Mr. Romney's trip to a similar excursion made by President Obama in 2008.

The results: The broadcast networks committed 53 minutes of almost entirely negative coverage to Mr. Romney, and 92 minutes of "gushing" to Mr. Obama.

"The near unanimous negativity of their coverage is as outrageous as it is transparent," observes the center's founder Brent Bozell. "It's impossible to look at the fawning coverage of Obama's trip in 2008 compared to the sliming Romney has taken in 2012 and not see a clear agenda on the part of the liberal media."

More victimhood, eh?  this could be due to what the men were doing this week.

obama was quietly running the country. 

Romney was visiting other nations, shitting on their Olympics prep and gushing over a socialist healthcare system.

I mean, if obama had been clubbing baby seals all week while Romney was at sunday school, I bet the numbers would be a tad diff.  Tell your candidate to stop being a global fckup and sucking up to soclialized medicine while shitting on our allies, and maybe the news will change. 

[Straw Man]

If the candidate spend 80% of his time making gaffes and dodging questions then what do you expect them to report  ?

Right cause the media was equally negative about obama during the past 4 years when he did all his stupid shit.

you complained about this week.   We showed you exactly why the coverage was lopsided this week - one guy was being a global douchebag in england and israel. 

So your response is to redirect the thread to a vague 4 years you have zero stats for?   Is this what you do?  Derail your own threads when you realize how stupid they are?

the reporting in the MSM in the UK on Romney was almost 100% negative

I guess none of that was Romney's fault either

It's not his fault that he fucked up and made an ass of himself almost evey time he opened his mouth

You do realize that he actually is the "victim" of 86% negative coverage, right? 

The UE rate increases....but because it wasn't the worst scenario imaginable (we only lost "net" jobs...not "total" jobs) you throw up a post lauding it as a great success.
86% of Romney's coverage is negative and you (improperly) mock it as "victimhood."

If you look at all the stupid statements made by Romney + Obama this week.

What % of dumb shit did Romney say?  He worshipped socialized medicine on foreign soil.  He insulted the Olympics and a major ally in front of the world.

What stupid thing did Obama say in the last 7 days?  (I believe the "you didnt do that on your own" is about 3 weeks old).


In the last week, romney was doing the promo tour while obama did quiet, predictable events. 

[SLYY]

Romney repeated it 5 days later...so, he (and the informed media) lost access to using the quote indefinitely.

yep.

My point is that ROmney came out of hiding to see the world on a little publicity tour.  He visited 3 countries and made embarassing gaffes in 2 of them.  So YES, he is going to get more coverage this week.  If Obama had mocked the Olympics then praised socialized medicine (both on foreign soil), while Romney had done a week of quiet and bland speeches...

What the hell do you think 33, the media, and the radio punditry would be talking about?

It was an epic week indeed.  Even some conservative commentators stated on fox news how horrific it was for Romney. 

Oh well, I think the Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio received his expert license in verifying Hawaiian birth certificates this past week.  So, 33 will have many new articles to post.
