[quote="Guest"][quote="NYT"]Then, while standing before a stately desk and an American flag, Mr. Obama, in a suit, says: “We’ve been talking about the same problems for decades and nothing is ever done to solve them. For the past 20 months, I’ve traveled the length of this country, and Michelle and I have met so many Americans who are looking for real and lasting change that makes a difference in their lives.”[/quote] I like Obama - great motivational speaker and delegator. However, it's this flashiness that really bothers me. He has been a senator since 2004 but spent a large portion of that time (approx 2 years) in running for the presidential office. I worry that he is resume only and not thrilled about his actual accomplishments. Not only that, his funding is not all from the little people. Those other major contributors will want favors at a later date. This in my view does not make him a president for the people; only for the well oiled political machine. I would like a "Change", but extemely worried that this would be an inexperienced change.[/quote]

You think they sit around and say, "let's give more quotes to these people because they like Obama and we like Obama." Then they are a fickle bunch so during the McCain convention they suddenly decide they support McCain more and send more favorable quotes his way. Etc. <br /> <br />If you look at the rate of favorable to unfavorable quotes and correlate it with national polls around the same time on an issue you will see them in very close parity. 60% of quotes across the network come out negative about Palin and, gee whiz, about 60% of voters view Palin negatively. So that’s just a coincidence or do you believe that the networks conspire to get that 60% (since the study is aggregating the total across all their coverage) knowing that if they 60% negative quotes that it will magically translate to 60% of viewers viewing her negatively? It is more logical that if 60% of people view her negatively and across the networks they interview hundreds of people that, like a representative sample from a poll, they will get about 60% negative quotes. So if they end up airing a percentage of positive or negative quotes proportionate to the overall balance of opinion they receive that is bias according to you? But it would be fair if 3-of-4 people say one thing to edit the coverage so it appears to by 50-50? That is not biased?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat, Nov 1 2008, 11:43 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: ABC only major TV network not airing Obama infomercial</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">oh, and why is it then that ABC was shown as being more impartial than CBS or NBC?

Just look at most of the quotes they provide as examples. They are not from the reporters or anchors. They are from people being interviewed or doing commentary. That is not inherently media bias, unless there is a conscious effort to selectively pick quotes and viewpoints to reflect that bias, which there study did not demonstrate. The other thing the full study demonstrates is the changing percentage of the "favorable" vs. "unfavorable" over time and in relation to specific events. For example, during each candidate's convention the rate of "favorable" quotes goes significantly up for that candidate, including McCain. Similarly, when Palin was announced she had a much higher favorable ratio. That's logical, if the media is reflecting what is happening that week and general sentiment. If there was intentional bias you should see a consistent skew toward one candidate over another regardless of timing or circumstances. The facts support the previous statement that the media reacts to and reflects public sentiment, not the other way around.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat, Nov 1 2008, 9:20 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Proof of Media Bias</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Well, here's the proof of media bias that apparently doesn't exist, at least on the networks. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.cmpa.com/media_room_press_8.htm" target="_blank">http://www.cmpa.com/media_room_press_8.htm</a> <br /> <br />Barack Obama has widened his lead over John McCain in the race for good press, and Sarah Palin's press has turned sharply negative on network news shows, according to a new study by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA).

Founders always trump Managers, good choice Obama.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />and that statement just goes to show you that Obama only cares for the press... Mccain picked the CEO to me that is a smarter choice... obamo is so fake it makes me sick!</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />The argument is ridiculous on both sides as both have plenty of credible CEO's and Founders.
