06.05a Partisan Democrat Anti-Nader Bias in the Liberal News Media, a Lexis-Nexis Search. It's interesting to find evidence that the media bias is not just liberal, but partisan Democrat. The Weekly Standard tells us,
If you perform the same Lexis-Nexis search for mentions of Nader on February 23, 2004, the day after he announced his latest run, you'll find 203 articles--almost all of which are negative. Consider the subhed for the New York Times article that day: "Nader, Gadfly To The Democrats, Will Again Run For President." Or the Washington Post: "Nader To Run As Independent; Democrats Upset At 'Spoiler' In 2000 Race." Or the Chicago Tribune: "Defiant Nader Declares He'll Run; Seeks Presidency As An Independent." "Gadfly"? "Spoiler"? "Defiant"? And remember: These are the news headlines.
