This is evidence of the glaring media bias against Barack Obama.

ECB's posts about Hillary are ALL Clinton Positive.

ECB's posts about Obama are all negative to Obama, so the net is really 25 to zero.

Your stuff is a little more balanced.

A slog post about slog posts! Thrilling commentary on the real substance of American democracy.

Seriously, you two can do better.

But how many posts about Captain Underpants in that same time period? Or Fuckabee?

wait, is this an opportunity for me to make misogynistic comments about ECB? that seems to be all the rage.

also, i'm very surprised that i was able to type that without resorting to spell check!

Noun! Verb! Nine-Eleven!

nelson laugh {ha ha}

@2:

Exactly. Without a breakdown of positive-to-negative ratio, the individual posting counts per candidate don't really mean that much.

I don't think anybody ever questioned, or were questioning you, Eli. From what I've seen, you remain objective, not like Annie or ECB.

Obviously, like most of the MSM, you're both biased in favor of Sen Clinton.

The surprising thing is that you're both not pushing Mayor Guiliani like everyone else in the MSM.

So ECB and the pro-Hil folks implied that there were far more positive posts about Obama on the Slog while in fact there were fewer, and the opposite is actually true about Hillary. How perfectly Clintonian.
Hillary's followers continue to be tied into the old politics of distorted facts and negativity, no wonder Obama pisses them off so much.

(crickets)

You forgot Slog posts featuring discussions and photos of semi-nude men: 18,785,412 and counting.

@11

no, the statement was that the posts today -- which started out being about 5 in a row for Obama -- were biased in his favor. You, sir, are exagerating, twisting, and distorting what was said.

Typical of Obama and so old school politics. Just like the Obamaton who said that pointing to Rep. Rangel's 19 terms in Congress as an example of experience was the same as Bull Connor turning on the fire hose. Exagerated, twisted, distorted.

Meanwhile, the news that two other Kennedies endorsed Clinton was newsworthy and was reported on TV but not on Slog.

The news that Obama's pal and long term donor buddy the corrupt Illinois political fixer was hauled off to jail today, was newsworthy and was reported by ABC but not reported on Slog.

The news that Fla. Sen Bill Nelson endorsed Clinton, was newsworthy, but not reported on Slog.

It's not a matter of counting posts. Or ensuring there are equal nos. of positive and negative. That's fake media-play-acting objectivity. How weird you buy into it.

True fairness is about generally applying the same standard of newsworthiness to news about both of them. Here we see the bias because the Kennedy primary is a split decision, if Clinton had a political fixer help her buy her house that would certainly be news, and when a Senator or Gov. endorses Obama we here about it here, but not whan one endorses Clinton, like the Gov. of Pa. last week.

To not have my words be twisted, the point isn't that the news about Obama today shouldn't have ben reported. The Kennedy embrace is huge news. It's that only reporting pro Obama stuff and leaving out stuff that's bad for Obama or pro Clinton is biased.

Not have your words twisted, unPC?

What color is the sky in your world?

I'm guessing it's rosy pink, cause you obviously ain't in reality as to what the SLOG is ...

OW! It hurts to roll my eyes that far back.

Meinert, these tallies are for posts in general, not for "positive posts". Which is exactly why it was a wasted effort to tally them up in the first place.

ECB needs to get laid.

(more crickets)

ECB is a shrill harpy, news @11.

Owned.

can we get a breakdown by timing and tone? and then a graph, just to compete the metamania.

What this study proves is that there have been way too many fucking slog posts about the presidential election, especially given that its sample size does not include Savage, Feit, or Wagner.

Ah facts, the sworn enemy of Erica's logic.

Thank you Eli, for being the lone writer at the Stranger for having an ounce of credibility and objectivity.

too many posts about the presidential elections, trevor? is that possible? it's kinda important...

Erica, will you marry me?
And the rest of you jackoffs can have a lovely time chewing my shorts.

unPC @ 14: "Kennedies." Heh. I like that.
