Bush Bias in black and white

Reported by Ellen - June 26, 2004 -

Foxnews.com's story on the polls 6/24/04:Bush Edges Kerry predictably gloats about every piece of good-for-Bush news and downplays his negatives. But I was surprised to find three paragraphs in the story emphasizing the Iraq/Al Qaeda connection and knocking the 9/11 Commission. It seems there is no end to Fox's willingness to support the White House agenda.

If you follow the link at the bottom of the story, The Actual Numbers, you'll find some interesting information that is literally buried beyond the story: Bush's approval ratings are at an all-time low. People think the economy is the most important issue. Bush and Kerry are tied there but Kerry is ahead in each of the four battleground states polled.

Read the story and see the bias for yourself. Considering that most of the other recent polls have Kerry ahead, I wonder if Fox's polling is as biased as its reporting.
