On Tuesday night, neither CBS nor ABC featured any Democrats during their Republican National Convention coverage. This is in contrast to the the Tuesday of the Democratic National Convention, when the two networks teamed up to feature Mitt Romney, George Will, Matthew Dowd and Dan Bartlett. Data.
Yes, and that gosh-darned right-wing controlled media buried all the Republican-caused disturbances at the Democratic convention (of which there were none) while splashing the Democrat-caused disturbances at the Republican convention all over the headlines.
Bet you didn't even know that 10,000 anti-war protesters demonstrated and over 200 were arrested outside the Republican National Convention. Bet you didn't know that those upstanding citizens sent an 80-year-old delegate to the hospital.
Please, Tom, tell us more about the horribly right-slanting news media!

Funny thing is, Squidley, I've read blogs by liberals who claim the reason the networks haven't mentioned the protests is because of the right-wing bias. "They don't want you to see any signs of dissension"/"They don't want you to see the peaceful protesters being pepper-sprayed", etc.
I don't watch television so I have no idea what the slant's like - though as a reader of TIME and NEWSWEEK, I never finish an issue without reading blatantly biased articles in the Left's favor.
