CAUGHT RED HANDED:CBS & ABC's anti-Palin bias!

[TRFrance]

If anyone ever seriously doubted that there's blatant anti-conservative/anti-Republican bias in the major media outlets, here is CLEAR EVIDENCE...this time courtesy of CBS and also ABC news.

The media is TOTALLY in the tank for Obama.
These two articles speak for themselves...

1....Katie Couric Diminishes Gov. Palin

CBS New anchor Katie Couric ordered staff to drop all references to "Governor" or "Gov." from her interview with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. When a staff member pointed out that in other venues, Couric and CBS News had referred to Governor Palin's opponent, Joe Biden, using his title of "Senator" or the abbreviation, Couric, according to a CBS News editorial aide, sought approval from CBS News management to drop the "Governor" reference

2....CBS News Erases Moderate Quotes from Palin Transcript

Governor Sarah Palin has given two mainstream media interviews. In both, she made multiple statements about the importance of multilateralism in foreign policy. In both, these comments were deleted by the news organizations.

After both interviews, a furor has broken out afterwards because of her hawkishness.

At two points in the video (2:58 and 5:39), segments have been removed from the official transcript.

...Interestingly, ABC News also edited out the same kind of moderate, multilateralist comment in order to more effectively promote the misinformation that Palin was advocating a new, warmongering approach to Russia.

The media biased? Surely you jest!

What is great is the ability in this electronic age to reveal all of their skullduggery.

Indeed, they've been caught over and over, (remember Dan Rahter/forged documents) but it doesn't seem to stop them, and they really don't seem to care.

Fear Not. They have been weighed in the balance, and found wanting:

Network TV Audience Trends: 2006 bAnnual Report

2006 Annual Report
March 13, 2006
In 2005 the decline of network news viewership continued.

On the evening newscasts, the audience declines accelerated.
The lone exception was CBS Evening News, whose audience and ratings rose for the first time in years.
The general audience declines extended to the highly profitable morning news programs as well in 2005, something worth watching to see if that becomes a trend.
The audience for prime-time magazines, however, at least those that had survived, stabilized in 2005, a sign perhaps that the genre has completed its thinning-out process.
The audience declines in the mornings and evenings, moreover, took place during a year when major national and world crises occurred at a rapid and steady pace. There was Hurricane Katrina and its failed response, followed by Hurricane Rita; the death of Pope John Paul II and the appointment of Pope Benedict XVI; and the continuing war in Iraq.

Q2 2008 Ratings: Fox Reclaims Prime Time Demo

After a first quarter win in the prime time A25-54 demo for CNN, Fox News Channel is back on top. "In the first quarter, CNN benefited from an intense Democratic race, but I think in the second quarter, after they spent millions and millions on sets and talent and graphics, it wasn't enough for them," FNC VP Bill Shine told the LATimes' Matea Gold.

Through Wednesday night, FNC averaged 346,000 viewers between 8-11pm (live +SD) for the second quarter. CNN averaged 300,000. MSNBC averaged 269,000. The quarter officially comes to an end this Sunday.
