Interesting read for sure.

However, it is FIVE years old, which is ancient history in this business.

All outlets have dramatically changed their business models in those years from hours of hard news versus commentary, versus covering live breaking news.

This kind of study would be interesting, uodated with time frames which would allow for changing news cycles.

Much too old to be useful

However, in reading it does reflect for that time, the narrow biased content on Fox, for example. I also know that perhaps, if this was updated, and this is my opinion....Fox has become much more narrow in their scope, and MSNBC has come from extreme left to left. CNN, which for years was and I think still is the place for live breaking news, again in my opinion is in the process of change.

Bias is an issue with all networks. The reference in this old study to the Sunday talk shows is relevant I think. Those shows become informative because of the guests, and if their editors do a good job in seeking and booking, the factors will change.

Like the idea, but very outdated.
