John McCain is rated more negatively than Obama, with only one positive statement on economic issues in the last four weeks, yet Obama has no real advantage on the issue either.

The Tibet question and the earthquake in May pushed sports down the media agenda. While sports was the most important message in the second half of 2007. After the unrest in Tibet, discussion of the Olympic Games, especially about the merits of a boycott, drove up the share of sports-related coverage again.

As Brown's media ratings plummeted, David Cameron's ratings rose.

British, American, South African and pan-Arab TV showed less interest in Israel in May. Coverage of Israel in European outlets was rather positive - quite unlike the tone of coverage of Israel in the long term. US network news on the other hand focused on the renewed allegations against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
