Sorry c.i., but I dont see how the paragraphs you quote prove Fox's "whole thesis" wrong. If her point was that this research shows that McCain received worse media coverage than Obama, then nothing in these two paras refutes that. All it says is that Obama's media coverage got more negative over time, and that it became more negative than the coverage of
Hillary. It says nothing about his coverage being or becoming more negative than that of McCain.
I havent read the info myself yet, sorry, hence why I didnt thank Foxfyre for the link yet. But these two paragraphs that you quote here, in any case, dont prove Fox wrong.
