A report released Monday by the Pew Research Center on media

coverage
over the past 5 years indicates that MSNBC (with the lowest

overall
budget) relies 85 percent on "opinions" by their commentators

and
15
percent on actual reporting of news events.

According to the study Fox News spends 55 percent of their air

time
on
commentary opinions and 45 percent on reporting of actual news.

CNN was rated as being the only cable network that spent more

time
reporting the news than opinion commentary.

What a surprise.

Well, it's fine and dandy but the Huffington Hoax is hardly the

source
I
would go to for objective views about news coverage...



-----------------------------------



The study was done by the Pew Research Center, not by Huffington

..

Harry's a little slow. It shouldn't be needed to point out that
Huffington was just the vehicle.



No, my point was no matter who did the study, Huffington Hoax is

about
as credible messenger as National Enquirer....


That's OK so long as they don't alter facts like Harry and JPS do.
