Government Shutdown Coverage: And just how Fair and Balanced are the American News Media?

Republicans never expected to get a fair shake in the Big Three networks' coverage of the 16-day government shutdown, but the final tally of stories blaming the GOP is stunning: 41 stories blamed Republicans and zero blamed Democrats. 
Nightly, 20 million Americans heard “a version of the shutdown story that could easily have emanated from Barack Obama's own White House,” said the new report from the Media Research Center.
The report, provided to Secrets, found that a total of 41 stories blamed Republicans for the shutdown. None blamed the Democrats. Another 17 blamed both sides. 
In addition, those interviewed by the night news broadcasts by ABC, CBS and NBC whacked the Republicans by a six-to-one ratio, said the report. (emphasis mine)

This truly is UNBELIEVABLE. The data shows that the networks didn't even bother to make it appear that they weren't bias and supporters of Obama and the Democrats...It was a case of IN YOUR FACE BIAS against Republicans.

How is this any different than a Government run media in some foreign country...that doesn't criticize all sides and always takes the side of it's leader?
