2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary has had 113 minutes of network news pre-election coverage, Bernie 10. [View all]
* edited to add video.
And Donald Trump has gotten more nightly network news coverage than the entire Democratic field combined.
No mention of Martin O'Malley.
Seems legit, right?
<snip>
The report found, for instance, that the Republican primary race has received more than twice as much coverage as the Democratic contest. Besides the fact that there are many more Republican candidates than Democratic ones, the GOP debates have made much more news than the Democrats (debates), Tyndall noted.
Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, unsurprisingly, is the most-covered candidate in the race. In fact, he alone has gotten more airtime (234 minutes) than the entire Democratic field (226 minutes).
<snip>
Democratic favorite Hillary Clinton is the second-most-covered candidate, at 113 minutes.
Two other things stand out: First, Vice President Joe Biden, who flirted with a run but ultimately stayed out of the Democratic race, got far more coverage (56 minutes) than Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont (10 minutes), who actually is running and polled well for much of the summer and fall.
<snip>
The takeaway for candidates is a bit disheartening: If youre not winning, saying outrageous things, or embroiled in an email scandal, it can be difficult to garner the attention you think you deserve. Candidates like Cruz, Sanders, Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) who arent natural headline makers, like Trump have to hope that when the calendar flips to an election year, the coverage will increase -- significantly.

Yet the 2 most covered, Clinton & Trump, are the front-runners. Coincidence? I think not.

Even with Hillary's negative coverage -she surges in the polls compared to Sanders.

Sure if covering her townhalls, speeches, rallies, and pressers is negative - which it is not.

Her private server/email problem is a different issue than the Benghazi hearings.

The wisdom of her *privatizing her email* IS DIFFERENT than focusing on the Bengazi part of it!

Much of the coverage of Hillary has been negative with a particular focus on the email nontroversy

Social media is an equal opportunity venue, the MSM has baked-in bias with selective coverage.

Many people especially older people still get their news from the MSM. And the "news" they receive

They're covering Clinton's/Trump's townhalls, rallies, speeches, and pressers - a distinct advantage

That's because the congressional hearing was not included in the survey of election coverage.

FFS, that's a ridiculous notion. It's the media's job to provide equitable campaign coverage.

And I've corrected that notion by pointing out the MSM is covering her events in their entirety.

It's all bullshit and fluff with the MSM. Feel-good coverage and contrived controversy.

Nonsense. Analyst Andrew Tyndall is respected in the industry of network data collection.

Oh dear, so angry. Why are Clinton fans so angry? Worried about a 2008 faceplant redux?

It is bullshit and has strangled O'Malley's candidacy in the crib. Damn shame, really.

The MSM are driving the narrative just like they did in 2007 promoting Giuliani v. Hillary 24/7.

Untrue. The networks have a biased agenda. The agenda is poorly disguised corporate propaganda.

Funny how Democrats were united on how the Corp-Media was pro Conservative.
