A little tidbit for the there's no bias in the MSM people.
Imagine these graphs if there was no Fox News.
Quote:
In the final week of the 2012 presidential campaign, Barack Obama enjoyed his most positive run of news coverage in months, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. Only during the week of his nominating convention was the treatment in the press more favorable.
Quote:
The changes seen in mainstream coverage did not carry through to social media, however, and each of the three major social media platforms offered a different sense of the candidates. On Twitter, for example, the conversation about Romney in the last week was the most positive of any during the general election while Obama's was basically unchanged. On blogs, it was Obama who saw a surge in favorable conversation. On Facebook, the tenor changed relatively little in the final days.
Quote:
The study tracked the coverage in mainstream news and the conversation in social media in the final two weeks of the campaign (October 22 to November 5) and is a follow-up report to one released by PEJ on November 2 that went to the eve of the third debate.[1]

The polls did not detect this trend. All along, after Obama recovered from the first debate, the polls showed Obama with a small consistent lead in all the swing states, except NC and FL. Possibly Hurricane Sandy was enough to give Obama a victory in Florida, but clearly Obama's victory was solid.
Republicans blame the liberal media, their failed software (Orca), the failure of Romney to stick to Tea Party principles, Christie, etc. Liberals credit minorities and young people turning out in record numbers, as well as Obama sticking to his principles.
As far as the media tone, Obama certainly benefited from Hurricane Sandy, especially after the Tea Party governors of New Jersey and Virginia praised him. There was not much to praise about Romney. His comments since the election expose what a loser he is.

actually that is not exactly what the article says:
Quote:
When it came to mainstream news coverage, a leading cause of Obama's more upbeat narrative in the last week was that the horse-race coverage about his campaign-stories focused on strategy, polls and the question of who is winning-became more positive: 37% were clearly favorable in tone while 16% were unfavorable. That is considerably more upbeat than it had been for most of the final two months of the campaign.
Mitt Romney and the republican lost to themselves.
Their inabilities to connect with the common person is what helped them lose. I honestly think it didn't mater, the republicans have got to learn that people really take what they say with heart.
Like Patters mentioned, now Romney just seems mad, bitter and crushed. He lost fair and square, he should just let it go. I just don't think any amount of coverage would've played more a bigger role in this loss more than the republicans themselves. Like I mentioned before, they have some soul searching to do because the party itself is becoming a joke. I love what the republican party was founded on, but things have changed and the people that represent it just seem to make it worse sometimes.

I agree ... no dispute ... republican party lost me in the early 90's - Bush I ... went IND.
I just thought these graphs should be shown ... it's what it's as NEP would say.
In other words the media decided who should win the election a week early for us.
I think the people decided. There were very few undecided voters.
But as to your point, Fox has far more viewers than MSNBC, so the comparison in the chart is not really fair. A glance at random days prior to the election shows Fox has at least 2x as many viewers as MSNBC.
