Surprise: TIME's Favorite Governors are Democrats

TIME offers up another revealing exposure of its political bias, even worse than its attempt to identify best and worst senators.

This one (11.21.05) is on governors. TIME picks the five best and three worst. Since nearly three out of every five U.S. governors is a Republican, TIME’s best five—naturally—are three Democrats and two Republicans. The article’s coverage is even more biased: 68.4% of the picture/text is of Democrats, beginning with the first two governors mentioned. Of course, two of the three “worst” governors are Republicans, providing a net best-minus-worst margin of Democrats +2 (3-1=2), GOP 0 (2-2=0).

The only “worst” Democrat TIME identified is Kathleen Blanco. She’s hard to ignore even though TIME’s overwhelming coverage of the Katrina disaster mainly blamed the Bush administration.
