![]() ![]() Among major broadcast news networks, the CNN audience displays higher levels of partisanship than ABC, CBS and NBC, but lower than Fox News and MSNBC. A 2019 Pew Research survey showed that among Americans who named CNN as their main source for political and election news, 79% identify as Democrats whereas 17% identify as Republicans. In September 2009, a Pew Research Center Poll showed that Democrats were much more likely than Republicans to rate the network favorably, while Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to see CNN unfavorably. So while coverage for Democrats overall was a bit more positive than negative, that was almost all due to extremely favorable coverage for Obama." In a New York Observer column entitled "Clinton News Network", political journalist Steve Kornacki criticized CNN's handling of the November 15, 2007, Democratic presidential debate, calling it biased towards Hillary Clinton. But both Clinton and Edwards ended up with more negative than positive coverage overall. Nearly half of the Illinois Senator's stories were positive (46%), vs. It's not that Democrats, other than Obama, fared well on CNN either. The network provided negative coverage of all three main candidates with McCain fairing the worst (63% negative) and Romney fairing a little better than the others only because a majority of his coverage was neutral. Four-in-ten stories (41%) were clearly negative while just 14% were positive and 46% were neutral. In research conducted by the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University and the Project for Excellence in Journalism, the authors found disparate treatment by CNN of Republican and Democratic candidates during the earliest five months of the presidential primaries in 2007: "The CNN programming studied tended to cast a negative light on Republican candidates-by a margin of three-to-one. The New York Times has described its development of a partisan lean during the tenure of Jeff Zucker. Maybe next year I'll just manage the team again.See also: Media bias in the United StatesĬNN has often been the subject of allegations of party bias. And my leg isn't improving all that quickly. I'll leave the final word to my father, who suggested as diplomatically as he could that perhaps the team does better when I manage instead of drive. I think our rather luxurious lineup of five drivers and four additional crew works pretty well togther, so we've decided to contest AER for the full 2016 season. So without the wheel bearing we'd have still had a podium, even after all the pitlane drama. So we brought him in and called it a day.Īt which point the two fastest cars in our class promptly crashed. On the second lap, the RX-7 lost a wheel bearing and the car started sliding all over the place. Finally, we were able to send him out again. ![]() His window net fell down, which caused a three minute pitlane delay and put us ten laps down. Bark came out strong but we were seven laps off a podium at that point. It took us fourteen agonizing minutes to not get him in the car and to put Bark behind the wheel instead. There wasn't enough seatbelt available in the car. We didn't realize this until it was time to do the driver change. We were short one driver due to professional commitments and the fellow I recruited to replace him, a very fast and dependable engineer for one of the Big 2.5 automakers, didn't fit in our race seat. But then disaster struck in slow increments. But that car finished about 20 places behind us in the overall standings.Ĭome Sunday, we felt pretty good about our chances to take a win in class, and when Mental got out of the car just one half-lap behind the leader with three hours to go, I was feeling confident myself. Sam, Bark, and Mental were also three of the five drivers in the Road&Track BMW. ![]() That race-within-a-race didn't last very long because the Jalopnik guys spun the car multiple times and caused a truly epic crash, leaving the R&T car as the winner by default. But this weekend, there was actually a Road&Track car as well, a BMW 325i that was racing in a two-car class against a very similar BMW driven by the staff of Jalopnik. It was "Road And Track And Friends", as it's been since the beginning. ![]() There was some confusion about our team name. ![]()
