Pew Study in March of 2013


Posted: Oct 4, 2013

Pew Study Finds MSNBC the Most Opinionated Cable News Channel By Far If you’re like most cable news viewers, you probably think the channel you favor has a monopoly on the facts and the other ones are nothing more than a bunch of ranting. In fact, which cable network is the most opinionated is not a matter of opinion. It’s MSNBC. A full 85% of the Comcast-owned network’s coverage can be classified as opinion or commentary rather than straight news, according to the authors of the Pew Research Center’s annual State of the News Media report. CNN and Fox News Channel, meanwhile, fall much closer to a 50/50 distribution, with Fox News skewing somewhat more heavily toward opinion. Here are the breakdowns: Not coincidentally, MSNBC also spends by far the least producing its news: some $240 million in 2012, according to an estimate by SNL Kagan. CNN spent $682 million, while Fox led the pack with an outlay of $820 million. To get a sense of the long-term trends in coverage, Pew’s researchers analyzed more than 700 hours of cable news programming consisting of more than 15,000 individual stories from 2007 and 2012. Fox’s programming mix, they found, changed the least over that five-year span, although coverage of live events during daytime hours decreased somewhat in favor of cheaper-to-produce interviews and pre-produced packages. CNN’s changed the most dramatically, coming to resemble far more closely its talk-driven competitors. Interviews, the most inexpensive form of programming, doubled on CNN between 2007 and 2012, while story packages and live events coverage decreased by 50%. ;

On March 8, organizers seem to be aiming for a different vibe than the librarians-in-pussy-hats element that made the first women’s march after Trump’s inauguration so adorable.

When it was all over, Alvin Robinson was found guilty by a jury of 10 whites and two blacks, and sentenced to 20 years behind bars for a murder he claimed was in self defense. Two years later, an ...
