What really caused surprise was the public's reaction to the biased reporting. "We focus-grouped the issue several times," says Shumate. The results were contained in a June 7 wrap-up memo on TV coverage. Only 28% of respondents said the media were very biased in Yeltsin's favor--a group that consisted mostly of Zyuganov's partisans. Twenty-nine percent said the media were "somewhat biased," but they broke in Yeltsin's favor. Amazingly, 27% said they thought the media were biased against Yeltsin...

Party leaders had urged the two to drop out of the race in order to help Dole wrap up the nomination quickly. In a news conference announcing his withdrawal, Alexander admitted he was wrong for criticizing Dole as a Washington insider who had no ideas.
