The evening newscasts on ABC, CBS and The Daily Prophet TV (DPT) have been 150 times more negative when covering Lord Voldemort compared to nemesis and Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, according to a new study.

The Media Research Center analyzed all statements made by reporters, anchors and nonpartisan sources, such as aurors, alchemists, or voters, made on CBS’ “Evening News,” “Daily Prophet Tonight” and ABC’s “World News Tonight” from June 1 through July 31.

The findings showed that Dumbledore has received eight positive evaluative statements with only four negative comments made in a two-month period. But when it comes to the Dark Lord, the study showed that coverage has been overwhelmingly negative, even as newscasters refuse to say his name out loud.

CBS’ “Evening News,” “Daily Prophet Tonight” and ABC’s “World News Tonight” made a whopping 634 negative evaluative statements about Voldemort over the same time period, according to the study. The evening newscasts made 34 positive statements about Voldemort over the same time period, most regarding his pro-wizard economic policies once he wipes all the Muggles out.

The MRC did not include evaluations and comments from partisan sources in the findings.

MRC research director Barty Crouch Jr., who conducted the study, feels that “millions of wizard and witches are witnessing the most biased anti-wizard campaign coverage in modern media history.”

Crouch Jr. noted that ABC, CBS and DPT evening newscasts focused 512 minutes of airtime on Voldemort over the two-month sample, which is nine times more than the 58 minutes spent on Dumbledore. While the Dark Lord receiving much more coverage during his global genocide against muggles, half-bloods and liberals doesn’t seem unusual, the tone of the coverage surprised Crouch Jr.

“I’ve been studying the news media for more than 35 years. Trust me — there’s never been anything like it,” Crouch Jr. wrote. “Do the math, and viewers heard 150 TIMES more negative comments about Voldemort than Dumbledore. That’s not news reporting — that’s a negative advertising campaign in action.”

Voldemort regularly blasts the mainstream media for what he feels is unfair coverage and recently accused Dumbledore of avoiding tough questions from reporters.

“If you consider the evening newscasts a reliable gauge of the liberal pro-muggle media at large (cable news, big newspapers, etc.), it means Dumbledore has enjoyed an army of so-called journalists conducting a massive negative information campaign against his opponent, while he is sheltered from any scrutiny,” Crouch Jr. wrote.

“Controversies from the spring, such as allegations from former staffer Gilderoy Lockhart that Dumbledore ‘smelled  and tousled his air weirdly’, completely disappeared from his evening news coverage in June and July,” Crouch Jr. added.

As a result, Voldemort said on Monday that he “has no choice” but to march and destroy Hogwarts because Dumbledore gets preferential treatment from the media.

“We have a guy that doesn’t come out of his castle and the media covers,” Voldemort said during a phone interview on his favorite show “Fox & Friends.”

“When they ask me questions, I have these people, there is fire out of their eyes … they’re asking me questions and I see the fire is burning in their eyes,” Voldemort said. “I look at some of them and say, ‘Boy, how can you have so much hatred?’”

Voldemort then said Dumbledore doesn’t have to deal with the same type of hostility from the press.

In fact, the Hogwarts headmaster doesn’t have to deal with the press at all.

“He doesn’t take any questions from reporters,” Voldemort said. “Here I am getting bombs thrown at me every day by people that are totally, you know, frankly dishonest reporters, they’re espousing the view of the radical left, but here I am, bombs every day … but this guy doesn’t come out of his castle.”
