After reading
this post about CNN's horrendously Republican biased SOTU coverage I decided to start this open thread for kossacks to inspect the TV media's SOTU coverage. What Bush says tonight isn't important, what the media says about what he said is.
Last years Pre-State of the Union Hardball featured 6 Republicans, 1 Democrat What will the ratio be this year?
Kossacks:
If you have a tivo/pvr record the coverage. We're going to examine the coverage and come back at the media hard for it's bias. We have to cover the networks and the cable news channels.
Some things to look for:
- The ratio of republican to democrat guests.
- Hosts repeating GOP talking points and frames
A poll will be added after the event to determine which station was the most Bush biased.
