An idea for a political experiment..
Take two relatively unknown candidates; one democrat and one republican and monitor the corporate media reporting history of both, taking into account only the buzzwords and biased phrases that the reporter uses in the story.

For example: "candidate D will have to work hard to get their message across" vs. "Candidate R has a clear message about the issue"

Does anyone know if there has ever been a study like this? I would bet the R candidate gets more favorable buzz than the D on average, it would be great to see that proved to be a fact.
