CNN's Roberts Keeps Cheney Accident Fresh with Cheap Shot at the White
March 3rd, 2006 4:16 PM
Think the mainstream media has let go of its anger over the events surrounding the release of Vice President Dick Cheney’s hunting accident to the press? Judging from the tone of his comments on today’s American Morning, CNN’s senior national correspondent John Roberts certainly has not. Roberts, formerly biased over at CBS News as the MRC’s Rich Noyes reported here, appeared shortly after 8am to…
Same Skewed Poll, But NY Times Gives It a New Liberal Angle
February 28th, 2006 1:55 PM
So how did the New York Times play the poll they conducted jointly* with CBS News, the one that sampled a much higher percentage of Democrats than Republicans? Tucked away on page A14, the Times story was headlined: "Amerians Are Cautiously Open to Gas Tax Rise, Poll Shows." According to the article by Louis Uchitelle and Megan Thee, even most of this biased sample of Americans is against…

Though President Bush's approval rating, in a new CBS News poll released Monday night at 6:30pm EST, was just one point lower than where it stood in October -- and thus well within the poll's three-point margin of error, Bob Schieffer teased the CBS Evening News by declaring: “There is little to celebrate at the White House where public dissatisfaction, that began with the handling of Hurricane…

The numbers are quite fascinating, and depict a populace that is much less concerned about this incident than the press, as well as…
What the New York Times Didn’t Report Regarding its Recent Poll
January 29th, 2006 11:41 PM
On Friday, the New York Times released results from its recent, comprehensive poll done along with CBS News. The Times devoted an entire article to this poll, and put it smack dab on the front page. Yet, the article curiously left out a few details that the Times editors must have thought were unimportant. For instance, 52 percent of those polled approve of the way the president is prosecuting…
Will Anyone Report These Hillary v. Condi Poll Results
January 26th, 2006 12:46 AM
Some time yesterday morning, the Gallup Organization released the results of a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll that, judging from its shocking results, many Americans might never hear about. Now, at this point, this is idle speculation. However, through 9:50AM EST Thursday, this has received very little attention.From what I can tell, CNN reported this on its “American Morning” program which aired…
Another Lost Poll: Used Car Salesmen More Ethical Than Members of Cong
January 23rd, 2006 9:03 AM
The folks over at Rasmussen Reports recently released results of a new poll with some rather stunning findings that are not likely to make their way into mainstream media reports. Apparently, not only aren’t Americans shocked by the activities of former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, but they hold such a lowly view of members of Congress that they perceive used car salesmen as being more ethical:“Forty…
