The Media Research Center is back with another report exposing the bias of left-wing media outlet CBS ahead of the Vice Presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz.
CBS’s Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan will moderate the 2024 vice presidential debate tomorrow night.
From MRC:
During the two months from July 21 (when President Biden left the race) through September 27, our analysts reviewed all 346 minutes of campaign coverage (161 stories) on the CBS Evening News and its Saturday/Sunday twin, the CBS Weekend News. We found that coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris has been extremely positive (84%), while coverage of former President Donald Trump has been lopsidedly negative (79%). (See Methodology explanation at the end of this post.)
While there was far less discussion of the vice presidential candidates, we found the same wild imbalance: 89% positive coverage for the Democrat Walz, vs. 89% negative coverage for the Republican Vance. Add it all up, and coverage of the Democratic ticket on the CBS Evening News was 85% positive, vs. 81% negative for the Republicans.
CBS’s campaign coverage is nearly as skewed as we found on the NBC Nightly News during the same period (65% positive for the Democrats, vs 89% negative for the Republicans). Those numbers are more tilted than anything seen in prior election years, yet still aren’t as extreme as the ridiculously skewed coverage thus far on ABC’s World News Tonight: 97% positive for the Democrats, vs. 96% negative for the Republicans.

🚨 BREAKING STUDY: CBS heavily favors Harris-Walz.
Does anyone expect CBS's @NorahODonnell and @margbrennan to remain objective in Tuesday's VP debate? https://t.co/WBQ7IY3HFj

MRC recently published a similar study about ABC News’ coverage of the 2024 Election.
“An MRC study published earlier this month found that throughout 100 campaign stories airing between July 2021 and September 6, Vice President Kamala Harris received a mind-blowing 100 percent positive coverage. Trump, meanwhile, was subjected to a more predictable 93 percent negative slant.”
ABC is the worst "news" network in history. https://t.co/ebKLuMyeTD
