[...] Hillary this way today?” That was a common complaint during the campaign, frankly; we made it here at HA too, even before the primaries had begun. I think she’s getting a bad rap on what she said/meant [...]

Stating the obvious is now considered “in depth” study.

Only when a really colorful chart is included. That’s the “in depth” part.

When There's No Life in the Party Neither party is presenting a narrative, as the Roosevelts and Reagan did, that takes due note of America's great strengths and achievements. Each seems to take the course, easier in a time of polarized politics, of lambasting the opposition. The Democrats suggest that all our troubles can be laid at the door of George W. Bush. The Republicans, noting Bush's low job ratings, complain about the disasters that will ensue if Hillary Clinton is elected. All these may be defensible as campaign tactics. But it is not a pudding that can successfully govern.

I’m not sure I want the MSM talking more about policy. Think about a typical MSM panel discussing illegal immigration. Even on Fox every single pundit is pro-amnesty.

And interesting that Fox news overall was more balanced than all.

# Democrats generally got more coverage than Republicans, (49% of stories vs. 31%.) One reason was that major Democratic candidates began announcing their candidacies a month earlier than key Republicans, but that alone does not fully explain the discrepancy.

Gee, you think???

They needed a study for THAT?!

My thoughts exactly. Maybe they just made the numbers up, knowing no one would challenge the obvious. :-)
