"Obama gets less favorable media coverage than GOP candidates A study of daily news coverage from more than 11,500 media outlets doesn’t support claims that the media favors President Barack Obama. Reports reflecting negatively on Obama have outweighed positive ones 4 to 1; negative coverage of Obama dominated even during the week that Osama bin Laden was killed. Politico’s Keach Hagey notes that “the top four most favorably covered candidates … were all tea party favorites” — Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann and businessman Herman Cain. The Times’ Brian Stelter reports that one reason for negative coverage of Obama is the large field of Republican candidates, all of whom have been criticizing the president. Hagey writes that the study “raises the question whether Democrats would be wise to take a page from the Republican playbook and begin working the media refs themselves,” a strategy that worked for Hillary Clinton when she was running for president. “Beating up on the media actually does change how the media operates,” says journalist Richard Wolffe, who covered Obama for Newsweek.

That's because he doesn't do anything positive that could be reported on.

I like how Palin is on that graph without even being a candidate.

How can they not be negative?

Is it not clear that pryderi has no capability to think about anything he reads?

Perry, Romney and the other candidates have a record that the main stream media refuses to report on.

Cain's 9-9-9 plan eliminates Social Security and Medicare. I don't see hardly any negative coverage of these candidates, their record or their current "plans"

Is it not clear that the best part of Chance is still in his mom's gummy taint from the record setting gangbang of 1984?

The MSM lost their credibility when they let the accusations of liberal bias affect how they decided to report the news...

No, wait, they lost it before that when they bought into the Cold War anti-communist hysteria...

No, wait, they lost it before that when they started a war for fun and profit.

Actually, has the mainstream media ever actually BEEN credible?

/ none of that matters of course, and in this case you won't see me complaining about them being harder on a sitting president than on potential candidates

Still doesn't change the fact that the GOP candidates have gotten more favorable media coverage.

And what exactly is wrong with that?

Scared to let the government lose control over wasting individuals money and let them make their own retirement bed to lie in?

what positive things about Obama should they report on?
