The Unbiased Media
NRA-ILA FAX ALERT 1/7/00
The Media Research Center
(http://mediaresearch.org
)
confirmed that when it comes to firearm-related stories, the news coverage on
ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC is anti-gun. The MRC study, which examined stories from
July 1, 1997 to June 30, 1999, covered 653 morning and evening news stories,
and found:
• Stories promoting gun control outnumbered those opposing gun control 357-36, with another 260 stories giving neutral coverage. Stories advocating gun control outpaced those opposing by a ratio of nearly 10:1.
• On the evening news, nearly 60% (184) of the stories favored one side. Of those stories taking a side, 89% (164) promoted gun control, while only 11% (20) supported pro-gun views, a ratio of 8:1. The worst in this category were ABC's "World News Tonight" (43-anti:3-pro), and CNN's "The World Today" (50:7).
• Morning news coverage was even worse. Of the 208 morning segments that exhibited bias, 93% (193) promoted an anti-gun message, while 6% (15) presented a pro-gun view, a ratio of 13:1. ABC's Good Morning America ran 92 anti-gun segments, and only 1 pro-gun story.
• Anti-gun sound bites were used twice as often as pro-gun sound bites, 412-209.
• Morning programs with interview segments had more than twice as many anti-gun guests as pro-gun: 82-37.
• Pro-gun themes, like the decline in federal gun prosecutions under the Clinton-Gore Administration, or the success of the "Project Exile" prosecution model, received scant coverage in the single digits, from the 653 stories reviewed.
