So Called Liberal Media?

So, according to various lefty blogs, and Media Matters for America, CNN has made a hard right turn in its convention coverage.


They accuse CNN of bias in their convention coverage.


Now, I don't watch CNN much, so I haven't observed this, but here's their claim.

After each Democratic speaker at the DNC, CNN would cut to their booth and follow up with a Republican response. Someone like Ralph Reed, Ed Gillespie, etc.


But now during the Republican convention, Republican speakers are followed up by Republican voices.



Anyone have any factual data on this? Anyone have guest lists online, so that we can compare?

I guess we'll see for real in the upcoming days. Something to look at.


And just for humor, let's look at their running time graph of

FOX News Primetime Convention Speech Coverage:

Now THAT'S funny.

The Republicans are more interesting.

Guiliani was great.

Arnold will be too.

And I expect Cheney and Bush to give outstanding speeches.

The DNC was forgetable. As is John Kerry and John Edwards.

Let's leave the adults in charge of our country.

Not Herman Munster and Gomer Pyle.

I figured Monday night would get more coverage than the DNC and it was planned that way on purpose.

There was a lot of suspense about what John McCain would say and what it would mean. I expected the entire speach to get played.

Would he pull a coup and back Kerry? Back Bush? Blast the SBVT?

There was no suspense about the first night of the DNC and the only people the Dems have to blame are themselves. Remember all the news stories about how boring these conventions were and about how they were pep rallies? The GOP was smart enough to give people (even those who disagree with them) a reason to tune in.

I think the biased part of Fox is having 4 republicans and one democrat comment on it afterwards, not the amount of time they spent doing so.

It's Snidely Whiplash, ignoramus!

BTW, did you know you can get the entire first season of Rocky and Bullwinkle on a five-DVD set (waddaya mean, who's Rocky and Bullwinkle?). It's fascinating to see Boris develop in the first few episodes; he's a lot taller and a lot more sinister. Around episode three or four, he shrinks and becomes the little shnook everyone loves to hate.

It sure is.
