If media bias didn't exist, why did CNN beat the other cable networks during the first night of the Democratic National Convention, and Fox News trounce the other cable networks by more than 3 to 1 during the Republican National Convention? Since Fox News normally defeats its competition, their Monday night victory isn't that much of an anomoly. But the huge margin that they won by was. CNN, on the other hand, doesn't win much these days. But they had strong ratings during John Kerry's coronation in Boston. It's no secret that Republicans are more interested in their party's convention and Democrats are more interested in their party's convention. Republicans, and the plurality of American cable viewers, prefer their information from the Fox News Channel. This is why their ratings spiked Monday night. Democrats opt for CNN. This is why they scored rare cable news victories when the focus was on the Democrats.

So why do Republicans tend to tune into FNC while Democrats turn the channel to CNN? The differences between CNN and Fox News are as wide as the differences between Democrats and Republicans.

The GOP has Rudy, Aaaahnuld, McCain, Cheney, Zell Miller and even Ron Silver.

The Dems have an hour long speech with Al Sharpton and Hillary Clinton.

You decide.

Who has the convention worth tuning in for?
