Good Morning America

Some statistics reflecting the impartiality of this morning show have just been released by Brent Bozell. Anytime a candidate is on this show it is free publicity and if you are a democrat, it is always positive. So far this year Good Morning America (GMA) has had 119 segments on the dems and just 51 on republican candidates. They have something called the Town Hall segment and there have only been two candidates on so far--38 minutes for John Edwards and 26 minutes for Hillary. That sounds fair. In addition, the only republican to receive more air time than Al Gore who is not running is the liberal darling of the mass media, John McCain.

You can't tell everything by just counting minutes. How about content? Well, when Guiliani and Romney were on they were asked about such things as mormonism and a messy personal life in the case of Guiliani. Compare this to the Claire Shipman description of Hillary and Obama as "white hot" and Hillary was an "unparalleled star" with a "hot factor" boosted by her "ever-popular husband". Shipman said Obama had a "fairy-tale family and personal charisma to spare."

We need to keep watching to see if future appearances by dems on this program induce a cinematic orgasm of historic proportion by Ms. Shipman.
