(((UniParty))) supports it.
The Republican and Democratic conventions are over, and it’s clear which party was the favorite of taxpayer-supported PBS in their nightly three hours of live coverage in prime time. Not even the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump quelled the overwhelming negativity with which the PBS panel greeted the Republican Party Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee in July.
Yet a month later, Vice-President Kamala Harris and a familiar crew of Democratic faces were greeted rapturously by the same network at the Democratic Party Convention (DNC) in Chicago.
Key Findings:
- Hostility for Republicans, Support for Democrats: PBS treated the RNC to 72% negative and 28% positive commentary. The DNC received far friendlier reception: 12% negative, 88% positive.
- Question Tone for Republicans vs Democrats: 89% negative for Republican guests vs. 61% positive for Democratic guests; 68% negative for Republican delegates vs. 60% positive for Democratic delegates.
- Capehart vs Brooks? Hardly: Washington Post columnist Capehart’s evaluation of the RNC was 10:1 negative, but “conservative” New York Times columnist David Brooks’ ratio was also negative, 2:1.
- The Name That Shall Not Be Used: “Illegal.”
