Media Matters is apparently upset with the mainstream media’s coverage of President Obama recent speech to that Joint Session of Congress.
“NBC featured nearly twice as much coverage of Wilson as Obama,” they noted. “NBC’s Nightly News provided 3 minutes and 2 seconds of coverage of Obama’s September 9 joint address to Congress, compared to almost twice as much coverage — 5 minutes and 47 seconds — of Wilson’s outburst during that address.”
NBC unfair to Obama? Now there’s a headline.
Media Matters even provided really cool charts that showed minute by minute coverage by the three main networks (ABC, NBC, CBS).
However, by our unscientific finger count, Media Matters had five front page stories focusing on Glenn Beck and none focused on The Greatest President In History.
We’re waiting for the angry statement from Obama accusing Media Matters of Glenn Beck bias. We won’t hold our breath.
