1. Write to the newspaper

with these findings and also copy DNC and Obama Campaign.

2. Does the DMN have a blog? If so, recommend you post the stats daily.

3. Oh,hehe

they are well informed.

4. Keep shaming them, and try to post the same info on other Texas blogs.

I don't know that it will change the DMN's actions, but bringing it to the attention of Texas voters has to be a good thing.

8. Isn't this simply because the Republican primary (including the runoff) was a genuine contest?

My understanding is that Sadler's opponent in the runoff was a perennial candidate who'd never won anything and was widely regarded as a no-hoper. Under those circumstances, you'd expect the newspapers to give the Democratic contest less coverage.

Go to the spring of 2004 and see how the Dallas Morning News covered presidential politics. I'll bet they gave much more space to the Democrats.

9. NO. No one even knows Sadler 's name.

Or what he looks like.

11. Newspaper selection of photos is a classic avenue for expressing bias.

I don't know this paper and I'm certainly not arguing that, overall, it's objective. My only point was that, during the primary and runoff period, one would expect even a fair newspaper to devote more coverage to the party with the genuine contest.
