Journalist Bias Poll Predicts Even-Handed, Fair Treatment for Candidates
WASHINGTON (DPI) -- An e-mail poll of major U.S. reporters seems to debuke
conservatives' claims that they are biased toward Democratic presidential
nominee John Kerry. "zrt;a;t'ds ru8vfifuloius!!/" wrote the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution's Jay Bookman, one of several reporters who
responded to the question, "Are the nation's reporters crossing their
fingers in hopes of a Kerry win?" A sampling of responses from other reporters:
Nedra Pickler, Associated Press: "o aoe,dj ns[om[t kaut rau8rpujgn
a;itr;i ! fjiuqp"
Katharine Q. Seelye, New York Times: "sdipfpkmn aapiiptrn; aso;iurt; a
mga' iayt'arrd sjkrds tjs ik,fsmsj;tsmp s tjsp yto si[ su tprps o

Sam Donaldson, semi-retired ABC reporter: "aip jasm tt pp k ti sa;

These results seem to demonstarte a clear lack of bias on the part of the reporters.
Contacted for comment on the poll results, New York Times reporter Nicholas
Kristoff said, "as pd oiuptjpsa;m, sy;k psfpip a mad jpk o'vapjaio;t
