Meaningless. First, the article has no words about how the rating was done, and by whom. Second, it makes the stupid assumption that there should be an equal number of favorable and unfavorable stories for every candidate, no matter how wonderful or horrible they might be as president.

I found more interesting the study from several months ago that addressed coverage of the war and politics by giving listeners a quiz about factual knowledge, reported by their primary source of news. Fox listeners were the worst misinformed, and I believe NPR listeners were the best informed. This story supports phony false parity of coverage, not ethical and truthful journalism.
