Newsweek Big: Media Bias Worth 15 Points for Kerry-Edwards
The American press has dived so deeply into the tank for Sen. John Kerry's presidential bid that they don't even bother concealing their pro-Democrat bias anymore.
"Let’s talk a little media bias here," Newsweek's assistant managing editor Evan Thomas told PBS's "Inside Washington" last week, reports Sunday's New York Post.

"The media, I think, want Kerry to win. And I think they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards - I’m talking about the establishment media, not Fox, but - they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and all, there’s going to be this glow about them that some, is going to be worth, collectively, the two of them, that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points.”
Newsweek's July 19 issue "certainly backs up Thomas’ contention," notes the Media Research Center, which first uncovered the amazing admission.
"Over a smiling photo of Kerry and Edwards on the cover, Newsweek ever hopefully asks, 'The Sunshine Boys?'"
Thomas' comments also support NewsMax Magazine's special report "The Media War on Bush."
In that report NewsMax estimated that the liberal media's coverage essentially gave Kerry a $2 billion "in-kind" donation through their liberal coverage.
