A study by the Pew Research Center reveals media bias in the 2012 election.
This doesn’t relate to abortion directly but does relate to it indirectly. Pro-lifers have been saying for a long time that the mainstream media (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) are biased against the pro-life cause.
It backs up the claim that the information one gets on issues, presumably including abortion, varies based on what news one watches.
Here are the results:
Coverage for Obama was:
On CNN: 21% negative, 18% positive
On FOX News: 46% negative, 6% positive
On MSNBC: 15% negative, 39% positive
Coverage for Mitt Romney was:
On CNN: 36% negative, 11% positive
On FOX News: 12% negative, 28% positive
On MSNBC: 71% negative, 3% positive
So we see there was considerable media bias in the 2012 election.
