Study: Big Three TV Networks Have Devoted More Than Double The Coverage To Occupy Wall Street Than The Tea Party, 87% Has Been Positive…

Shocker.

(The Daily) — The Big Three TV networks have devoted far more attention to Occupy Wall Street than they did to the tea party, according to a new study by the Washington-based Media Research Center. CBS, NBC and ABC reported a mere 13 times on the tea party throughout all of its first year, 2009. In contrast, they ran 33 stories or segments about Occupy within 11 days.

So does the disparity in coverage mean Occupy is getting special treatment? Maybe, suggests the report. On CBS, NBC and ABC, most of the interview sound bites — 109 clips, or 87 percent — were from either protesters or supporters of Occupy, whereas only 6 percent were critical of the movement. Morning-show coverage has also been favorable, with seven guests expressing sympathy for protesters and none opposing or criticizing them. We don’t seem to remember the tea party getting such good press.

It is any possibility you might dream up.

I said I like the short skirts.

Maybe what you like is concision. Some might argue you've even been programmed for it!

You know, the glass desks and short skirts was first on the scene with Mary Hart. (I think) She had her legs insured for a $million.

A million EACH.

 

[moreluck]

I'm pretty sure it was a million for the pair.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

menotyou is right:

Mary Hart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[moreluck]

I wonder how that would work when someone says their boobs are insured for a million ??? Both together? There's a few Hollywood types that have that with Lloyds of London.

Here's one..

Its funny, the coverage by the corporate news media has been more condescending than analytical. Its more "what do these people want already??" True they are getting more coverage these days BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOING AWAY!! The tea baggers had their little rallies and went back home to their gated communities. This OWS movement, which at first wasnt even mentioned at all by the corporate media, made headlines only when that thuggish cop sprayed pepper spray at those women!! Then it became a story to cover. Plus im sure the corporate media are reading the polls too and seeing that most people agree with some of the things the OWS people are saying:taxing the rich, the need for more equal distribution of wealth, need for more regulation on Wall St, etc.

For non-corporate media coverage of OWS or anything for that matter tune in to www.democracynow.org

And we are all so sure that is a totally unbiased news source.

Even to me, that sounds like a George Soros production.
