President Obama's economic stimulus plan has been a main talking point since he took the oath of office last month.

The Business and Media Institute analyzed coverage of the bill on evening newscasts of three major networks.

The study also shows less than 2 percent of the news stories addressed how Obama and Congress intended to pay for the stimulus.

CBN News spoke with Dan Gainor of the group about its study. Click play for his comments.
