The networks have given President Obama more coverage than George W. Bush and Bill Clinton
combined in their first months -- and more positive assessments to boot.
In a study to be released today, the Center for Media and Public Affairs and Chapman University
found the nightly newscasts devoting nearly 28 hours to Obama's presidency in the first 50 days.
(Bush, by contrast, got nearly eight hours.) Fifty-eight percent of the Obama evaluations were positive
on the ABC, CBS and NBC broadcasts, compared with 33 percent positive in the comparable period of
Bush's tenure and 44 percent positive for Clinton. (Evaluations by officials from the administration or
political parties were not counted.)

Interestingly, the reporter pool from Fox News was again overlooked during the question and worship period.
Don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, and it is OK to make fun of the tea bag protesters,
but Noriega, Chavez and Ahmadinejad are now our friends.
Huh????
