ABC’S GOOD MORNING AMERICA, ALONG WITH OTHER LIBERAL MEDIA, PUSHES BAD NEWS FOR GOP

Alexandria, VA–The liberal media’s coverage of the upcoming elections next week is fixated on how Republican voters apparently are confused or disillusioned and that, all in all, this spells disaster for the GOP. Typical coverage was evident in Monday’s Good Morning America, which found five people (Republicans and Democrats) and yet somehow not one of the people interviewed expressed support for the President or for Republicans.

In response to ABC’s selective and slanted coverage, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell issued the following statement:

“The liberal bias at ABC is abundant and obvious. They are doing all they can to sour conservatives against voting next week and to spread disillusionment among Republicans. Good Morning America supposedly found five voters of different stripes, not a one of whom supports the President or the GOP.

“The bias is obvious. ABC is painting a highly selective picture of the American electorate. This is on par with similar ‘news’ stories coming out of CBS and NBC, as well as CNN and MSNBC. It’s electoral water torture: a drip, drip, drip of bad news. No good news anywhere for Republicans is reported. It’s all geared to help Democrats get elected.”
