MRC Study: ABC, CBS and NBC Tilt Debate Over Ground Zero Mosque by Hyping Accusations of Public\’s Supposed Intolerance
 By a wide margin — 66 percent to 29 percent, according to the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll — the public is opposed to building that proposed $100 million Islamic cultural center near the site of the destroyed World Trade Towers. This is not a lightly-held opinion: more than half (53%) told ABC news they are \”strongly opposed\” to building it near Ground Zero, vs. only 14 percent who report being \”strongly\” in favor. 

 So in the face of such obvious public sentiment, are the big broadcast networks reflecting such public sentiment in their coverage? Or are journalists implicitly repudiating their viewers by touting accusations that opposition to the mosque is motivated by America’s supposed \”Islamophobia\”? 

To find out, MRC analysts reviewed all 52 stories about the Ground Zero mosque on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts from August 14 through September 13 — the first month after President Obama propelled the issue into the headlines with his remarks at a White House dinner.

Statewide, including WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, archers can hunt antlered or antlerless deer from Oct. 2 to Nov. 13, and the late statewide archery deer season runs from Dec. 27 to Jan. 15.

The town hall meeting was held earlier this week at the Gloucester Township Senior Center on Chews Landing Road.

Outside the Senior Center John, left, says hello to his friend Republican Assemblyman Dominic DiCicco (R-Camden/Gloucester).

In addition the governing body closed the meeting from Executive Session according to residents that were there. Under law they are required to come out of executive session to close the meeting. Why our municipal government is not following the law is besides me. Why is our government being so secret? What are they afraid about? As citizens of Gloucester City we all have a right to know what our elected officials are doing.
