摘要
This study is the first longitudinal study to address two separate lines of research-sound bite research ann news bins research-within a single network TV news study. Presidential and vice presidential campaign stories from Campaign '92 (ninety-nine newscasts) and Campaign '96 (100 newscasts) were analyzed to test the anti-incumbent bias hypothesis. The overall conclusions of this study were that (a) the anti-incumbent bias hypothesis received only minimal support, and (b) ill both campaigns, Republicans tended to be negatively bitten more often than Democrats. bl this respect, the networks mere not equal-opportunity biters.
