The CMPA, a sub-group of George Mason University (a public Virginia University) had the same results as the Pew study. Are you going to claim they are both biased?
Get a real argument instead of attacking a reputable source.
I'm glad you pointed those out...you can't talk about Pew being too biased now which you probably will anyway.
Lets see if you can find their study. It actually is at

Quite frankly, McCain wasn't conservative enough for a variety of conservatives I have heard from. Complaining about him just because they'd rather have Palin.
I suspect Fox News easily fits into that group...

Now that you have been shown to be wrong you turn your argument to something different. Interesting. By the way, Pew found NBC to be the nicest to Palin.

Trying to claim their bias level based solely on election coverage is missing MOST of the picture...

You mean like trying to claim bias level based upon a news channel breaking an interview for something stupid?

I'll give them credit on election coverage.
On the general news? No.

Based upon nothing more than your own bias?

And speaking of credit, what about credit for this?The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason
University, where researchers have tracked network news content for two decades, found that ABC, NBC and CBS were tougher on Obama than on Republican John McCain during the first six weeks of the general-election campaign.
You read it right: tougher on the Democrat.
During the evening news, the majority of statements from reporters and anchors on all three networks are neutral, the center found. And when network news people ventured opinions in recent weeks, 28% of the statements were positive for Obama and 72% negative.
Network reporting also tilted against McCain, but far less dramatically, with 43% of the statements positive and 57% negative, according to the Washington-based media center. In study, evidence of liberal-bias bias - Los Angeles Times

Surely you aren't quoting a study from a group you literally just said was biased earlier in your post. HAHA, that is unreal...even from you. And I believe this study is accurate just as I believe their final study is accurate about Fox News being the most unbiased.
