The study referenced above isn't the first one that used tortured logic to arrive at supposedly objective findings of liberal media bias (e.g., excluding "Firing Line" from a PBS study).

They would see that for example, last week Special Report was dominated by three conservatives on a panel with a conservative host. And I guess they just missed the grapevine which is just two minutes to attack dems and other liberal groups. And Spud, if they had taken the full hour, the results would have been far different.

All they seem to do is prove the professors (or research teams) don't know how to conduct a true and unbiased study. I don't get it! You'd think once in a while, a well done study would come out... but apparently not. What is with all these university studies of cable news networks?

Whether FNC is left, right, or center this study had no standards what so ever and to me seemed very stupid and inconclusive. This is one of the worst studies ever done on FNC’s political coverage.
