Thank you for the link. It was an interesting analysis, though the 3 months covered are pretty far back.

It’s not just the number of articles written where bias emerges, it’s about the content and the tone.

Everyone got coverage when they announced, but while articles about the men focus on what they would bring to the presidency, the women were treated as “also-rans” right from the beginning. Warren wasn’t taken seriously until she started challenging Biden in the polls, even when she was polling as well as Bernie.

To a great extent people believe that Biden is the most electable, because the media keep saying that he is. That idea may very well be just a self-fulfilling proficy. And that comes from bias.
