The BZ Bias Continues



On WBZ: Saturday, I still heard Romney's name first and O'Brien's name second - in non-issue specific mentions (by Kim Tunnicliffe) as well as a pre-recorded Promo (which ran all weekend) touting Monday Morning reporting on the latest in the race between "Romney & O'Brien".

Today, Diane Stern did a story on the Gov's race at 12:32.  Sound bites from interviews w/persons-on-the-street: The bite mentioning Romney's name was first and the one mentioning O'Brien was second.  This was followed by two sound bites from the candidates themselves.  You Got It! Romney was first and O'Brien was second.

NB:  A third sound bite (that didn't mention any candidates' names) said "..haven't decided which of the two candidates to vote for.."  So much for letting the voters know there's FIVE candidates.
