The survey says... media are biased

An item in the "Transition Notebook," Nov. 16, referred to a survey showing that President-elect Clinton and Ross Perot received more favorable coverage about the presidential debates than did President Bush. The survey shows that the press was "riddled with biased writing."

Debate viewers must have been biased as well. Polls showed that viewers thought Messrs. Clinton and Perot performed better than Mr. Bush in the debates. Bush did not come off well in the debates, substantively or politically, and it would be biased reporting for the press to pretend otherwise.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
