New Times Broward-Palm Beach
University of South Florida professor
Susan MacManus has been quoted in over
1,000 stories that mention Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Bob Norman writes: "Problem: MacManus has served as an adviser to the governor and was a member of his transition team. ...
That's right, she's a Bushie. Nothing wrong with that, as long as it's disclosed in the stories. But it almost never is. Instead, reporters routinely identify her only as USF political scientist or professor, which implies an Ivory Tower neutrality."
