Good Morning America Devotes 15 Minutes to Dem Race; 31 seconds to GOP

Are the two major political parties hosting primaries this winter? Or is it just the Democrats? Viewers who saw Monday's edition of "Good Morning America" might assume the latter. The ABC program devoted a lopsided 14 minutes and 56 seconds to breaking down the race between Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. A scant 31 seconds were given to the competitive Republican race.

Over the course of the two hour program, GMA featured four segments on the Democrats and only a solitary (and brief) piece on the GOP contest. This included co-host Diane Sawyer interviewing Barack Obama twice. ABC anchor and former Bill Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos talked to Senator Hillary Clinton. Kate Snow discussed the state of the New York senator's White House bid. Aside from mentioning the latest GOP polls in the show's intro, the only analysis of the Republicans resulted from Sawyer asking Stephanopoulos this banal question: "And what about the Republicans?" The conversation that followed lasted 31 seconds.

While I think the media is biased in favor of the left, I think the race
between Obama and Klinton is interesting because so many thought
she was a done deal and hes rattling her cage real bad.

Did you watch any of the debate last night?

As I keep telling every the republican race isn't interesting until South Carolina. Every thing else is masturbating.

An entire 14 minutes given to a story of interest. How terrible is that?

Dude, there are only so many people that want to watch Fox and listen to Rush. Most people want to hear about something else.

poor radioguy,

such a victim.

Damsel in distress.

They focus on the Dems because they think they will be the party to win in November. That can change in 5 minutes.
They don't focus on Edwards a lot, although he is getting a little more press with Clinton's decline.

Do the Dems, despite many similar viewpoints have more distinct personalities than most of the GOP candidates?
The GOP* is more like the many heads of the same multi-headed serpent. lol, oops did i stick a knife in? & twist it? sorry, my bad.

*excepting Ron Paul who has an actually intellectually independent view. You know, someone who's integrity allows them to not need a lot of reinforcement because they don't support intellectually bankrupt ideas.
