Media Bias Statistics help

[phylla]

Help- A while back I remember that there was a fairly involved study of media bias that looked at the number of time the stories about the Clintons, or Al gore were negative in the media versus Pres. Bush et al.

I am giving a speech on "Is there a bias in the media?" and want some really killer ( and interesting) statistics to back me up.

Do any of you remember this study or can you recommend some good sources to prove the case of conservative bias? David Brock and Alderman's books are already covered. And, of course, I have the recent happenings, but I was looking for some hard statistical evidence to show how long this has been going on and how pervasive it is.

Thanks in advance for your help.

2. Yeah FAIR doesn't have the easiest website to find stuff on

But for long term analysis they are by far the best. I expect in 10 years or so Media Matters might overtake them though.
