TV News Doesn't Cover Candidates Positions


Data, compiled for MediaChannel.org by international media monitoring firm Media Tenor showed that in January the three networks devoted less than 5 percent of their coverage of the Democratic campaigns to the candidates' positions on the five election issues that Americans say matter the most.

And the trend is towards less and less coverage according to Media Tenor. "For the past four weeks, all three networks have decreased their share of policy coverage on the candidates."
