Study: Blogs Love Obama, News Sites Love McCain. But McCain Is Catching Up By Going Negative. (27)
on
TechCrunch (7459) permalink
In general blogs still favor Obama by about two to one, but the opposite is true for traditional news sites. McCain’s speeches and position statements appear on traditional news sites 80 percent more often than Obama’s. And on the sites of the major TV networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox), McCain has a 3 to 1 advantage. (This ratio should come down with the Democratic convention this week).Shared by Adam (7) Adam S (8) alireza (87) china doll (0) cisellis (25) Dan McCall (21) David Risley (16) DeadRinga (36) etlund (5) James (18) Jan (5) John F.

onWho is doing a better job of getting his message across on the Web: John McCain or Barack Obama? Conventional wisdom says that it is Obama, whose performance on the Web has been strong since the beginning. And conventional wisdom is still correct when it comes to blogs and social networks. But a new study by Attributor that is being released today shows that McCain is actually leading on mainstream news sites and catching up ...Shared by ~C4Chaos (84) Adam (7) Adam S (8) alireza (87) Chanse Arrington (19) china doll (0) cisellis (25) Dan McCall (21) David Risley (16) etlund (5) James (18) Jan (5) Jeff (51) John F.
