If you've ever listened to the so called No 1 radio station, 2GB, or read the so called No 1 newspaper, the Telegraph, Rambo, I don't think you would even need to ask this question. The media is overwhelmingly pro-Liberal, anti-Labor - or perhaps just anti-Gillard because I've never witnessed it quite so one-sided, as I have since Gillard became PM.

No way. Labor have just stuffed up much more of their policy delivery and had more internal bickering than the liberals did in 13 years.. With the today tonight approach of the telegraph, obviously they will pick up on the scandals.

But I agree, 2GB is heavily biased.
 
2GB, Terrorgraph, 2SM - Liberal.

ABC, SMH tend to be a little more sympathetic to Labor.

7, 9, 10 will cling to whoever is flavour of the week.
 
This is interesting reading - sorry if it is hard to read in this format. The original can be found here http://andrewleigh.org/pdf/MediaSlant.pdf on Page 11\. Personally I have doubts on the data. The Herald Sun pro-ALP??? 702ABC pro-Coalition???

ABC TV pro Liberal?
Somehow I doubt those figures - the ABC is only secondary to the union movement as a breeding ground for Labor politicians. :laughing:
 
Verynj tethering reading Yoss , in NSW the only labor slanting out let was the hearald , an the margins to which it slanted to la or was less then why the overall " mean slant " was towards liberal ….....

As I understood it ,Chanel 7 and 9 were in the same league as 2UE and 2GB .....

If only people could underhand what the media is trying to do to them ......
