Abstract:
This study explores partisan (conservative or liberal) bias in three major newspapers: USA Today, The New York Times, and the Washington Post. My analysis occurs during times of conflict between the United States and Iraq in 1990-1991 and 2003-2004. Because there are so many recent books regarding media bias, this was an important study to complete. This examination is significant because the study finds that the papers overall have little to no bias on most dates regarding the war.
