1. Very interesting, thank you

Along similar lines, Frenchie posted this just the other day. An interesting look back at the media's role in our primaries.

Study: Iowa Caucus Victors Received 98 Percent Positive Coverage

WASHINGTON, DC—Prior to their surprising Iowa caucus performances, 98 percent of the network evening news coverage of Democratic Presidential candidates John Kerry and John Edwards was positive, according to research conducted by the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA). The study also found Howard Dean received more critical coverage over the same time period, at 58 percent positive.

This is CMPA’s second ElectionWatch report of Campaign 2004. ElectionWatch will provide regular updates of how the broadcast networks are covering the candidates, the issues and the campaign. This report examines the 91 stories broadcast on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news from January 1st through January 18th, the night before the Iowa caucus.

OTHER MAJOR FINDINGS:

Golden Boys Get Midas Touch-Not one person quoted by the networks had anything critical to say about North Carolina Senator John Edwards (100 percent favorable coverage) in the two and half weeks leading up to the Iowa caucus, while 96 percent of the evaluations of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry were positive.

6. Hillary gets less face time than Edwards and Obama.......

and CNN has the most appearances from Edwards out of all of the Democratic candidates it appears!

7. I think that's Hillary's choice probably

She's always controlled her appearances.

3. But it only includes appearances

as far as being talked about - Clinton, Obama, and Edwards for the dems are by far and away the most talked about. If you watched MSNBC yesterday it was almost as if Bill Richardson didnt even attend the AFSCME forum.

5. Richardson was interviewed on MSNBC yesterday......cause I saw him.....

So he did get some face time as well as some print!
