ST Bias - Good News/Iraq (1 view) Bush/Failure (51 views)...ST Bias?

Interesting how a Good News Iraq post has 1 view and a post about President Bush admitting failure has 51 views. What does that say about the information that ST'ers want to read?

I wonder if the average ST page reader has the same bias as the Mainstream Media....

Thoughts?

Um, because Hurricane Katrina, and who should bear responsbility, has been the hot topic of the last week and a half, while Iraq simply isn't that hotly discussed anymore as it's been beated to death.

I checked out the "good news" link and didnt really feel the need to comment. I read about the latest coalition offensive a day or 2 ago on CNN and though "good shit". The part about the whopping 150 people protesting against terrorism was nice, if a little ho hum.

Duh. This room is slightly left-of-center, population-wise. Either that, or the lefties are far more prolific posters (though my friend Brian, and Art Franke, could give any leftie a run for their money ;-)

Hey...come to think of it, I actually post (sometimes) like I've got diarrhea of the keyboard, or something. Never mind!

Your thread wondering why no reponded started at:

Sep 13, 2005, 7:57 PM

That is not five hours. Threads started in the morning tend to get more views/responses than threads started after people have left work. I wouldn't read anything into it.

About the bias? I dunno. I think it goes in waves. Seems like support for the war has waned here over time.

you guys are falling behind - I see none of you have posted in the "good news from Iraq" topic...

Hottie thread - almost 600,000 views

Everything else - not even close

I would say our priorities are straight.

The Hottie Thread certainly causes far less turmoil than some of these other posts, fer shure. I vote Hottie, 100%.
