I find it amusing that this is somehow an acceptable use of children's characters, but PBS pulled the segment of Sesame Street where Katy Perry bounced around in a tight-fitting shirt with Elmo on it.

Guess which one I would have rather seen?

For McCain, the news channel was somewhat more positive (22% vs. 14% in the press overall) and substantially less negative (40% vs. 57% in the press overall)." (as quoted from your link)


You either don't understand this rather simple point, or you don't want to understand it. Which is it?

I'll repeat it for you: On Fox news, coverage of Obama was more negative than the norm.

You'll find your 40% in my quote: Fox told 40% negative stories about both Obama and McCain, but they told 11% more on Obama than the norm and 17% less on McCain. What is this if not biased?
But the end result was 40% negative reporting on Fox News for both McCain and Obama. How is that "biased?" Especially compared to that "other" station.

Again MSNBC openly acknowledges their liberal slant, FOX news doesn't acknowledge its conservative slant and is the second most bias network according to your link. It's just a preference of whether or not you like your news source to be up front about how they present their news.
