Just 14% of McCain Coverage is Positive

[ensbergcollector]

Interesting article considering how many people claim that Obama gets all the negative press.

"For Barack Obama, the study found coverage “has been somewhat more positive than negative, but not markedly so," with 36 percent of the storiees positive in tone, 35 percent mixed, and 29 percent negative."



"Just 14 percent of the stories about John McCain from the conventions through the final presidential debate were positive in tone, according to a study released today, while nearly 60 percent were negative—the least favorable coverage of any of the 4 candidates on the ticket"

He should consider himself lucky. Only about 2% of the things I have to say about him are positive.

I mostly watch MSNBC, and it is a bash fest of McCain/Palin & Bush.

Thanks for the laugh

But I admit, I am surprised at those numbers.

I'm not , Mccain has run the worst and nastiest campaign in history what did he expect? He picked a terrible VP, His "suspend'" stunt was a joke. He has no ideas just keep bush economic ideas and the troops in Iraq. When you run tv spots saying the other guy is a baby killer, child sex offender, terrorist of course they are going to call you on it.

The sad thing is Mccain is better than this, if they would have let him be himself and pick who he wanted as VP he would probably be up 10 points in the polls. But instead he listened to the Rove cronies and turned into just another Republican politician. Most people don't care about Ayers, Joe the fake plummer, or any of that anymore and the fear card won't work with intelligent people. If they let Mccain be Mccain he would have not only had my vote but ran away with the election.

you have been the one that for weeks has been talking about how much more negative the press about Obama has been than McCain and now that there is proof to the contrary you simply say, "im not suprised?"

and as for those "bush economics"... Bush started calling for reform of fannie and freddie 3 months after he took office. Looks to me like he might actually have known something. 3 years ago, McCain started saying the same thing only to be accused of being chicken little when nothing was wrong.
This country will never understand economics until they realize that the president is not the be all and end all of unemployment, gas prices, and the stock market.

You can say all you want about the Bush/Mccain saying what they want, for 6 years they had the House/Senate/White House and were passing anything they wanted. If they were so worried why didn't they do anything about it? And to say that the president can not influence Employment and Gas prices all you have to do is look at the last 8 years compared to the Clinton years. Once you allowed speculators to bid up oil prices we saw prices shoot through the roof. When you put someone in office that is worried about everyone not just the rich then things can change.

And if you think mccain is innocent
