The media adore their man Obama

Howard Kurtz finds that the media apparently approve of President Obama’s performance in office:

the Center for Media and Public Affairs and Chapman University found the nightly newscasts devoting nearly 28 hours to Obama’s presidency in the first 50 days. (Bush, by contrast, got nearly 8 hours.) 58% of the evaluations of Obama were positive on the ABC, CBS and NBC broadcasts, compared with 33% positive in the comparable period of Bush’s tenure and 44% positive for Clinton.

Perhaps 58% positive evaluations of Obama should be considered “objective” when coming from a group that often votes Democrat by 90% or more. And it’s not just the media — Arlen Specter likes him too!
