No supprise here

A new report by the Center for Media and Public Affairs find that Bush finds no friends at TV networks. I'm sure we all knew that, but some fact are alway nice in a debate with Blues.

More than two-thirds of the news stories on ABC, NBC and CBS covering the first 100 days of Mr. Bush's second term were negative, according to an analysis released today by the District-based Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA).

The three networks also seem to be boycotting Mr. Bush this time around. He rated 619 stories during the study period in 2001-- but just 250 stories this year, the study found.

'But the public isn't going to let the news media get away with anything either,' he added. 'The public is more critical and ask more questions about news coverage these days -- and what offends them most is negativism.'
