Arnold complains of too few stories

| 2 Comments

Schwarzenegger said on The O'Reilly Factor that the L.A. Times is biased against him, with one of his points that they put more stories about his rivals on Page One and relegate stories about him to the inside pages. Reuters counted:

A search of the Lexis-Nexis database showed that Davis has been mentioned on the paper's front page 64 times since Schwarzenegger joined the race on Aug. 6, while Schwarzenegger appears 61 times over the same period. Bustamante is mentioned 48 times.

Of all the things Arnold might complain about, lack of media coverage isn't one I expected.

Also: Davis finally apologizes, for remark about Arnold's pronunciation. (Sacto Bee)
