Dude- that's what happens when one side runs a good campaign and the other doesn't. Suprisingly, the side running a bad campaign has more negative press. Do you want the media to lie?

You believe that crap? The View was more sympathetic to Ohbama because he ran a better campaign? The same with MSNBC? Or Katie Couric?

C'mon, i thought you were smarter.

Attacks on Palin because she ran a bad campaign?

Nice try though.

Yes, exie, that is a huge part of it. Tell me- do you expect the media to report exactly 50% favorable for Obama and 50% favorable for McCain? Wouldn't that, in fact, be a bias? What should they do if one campaign (like McCain's) is clearly doing a bad job? They abandoned Michigan weeks ago. Should that story have been reported as a positive? Palin has sounded like a dope in almost every major media interview she has conducted. Is the media obligated to report otherwise to be more "fair?"

McCain is losing in the polls. Every time the media reports that he is losing in a poll, it is a "negative" media story. Should they report he is winning instead? Should they not report on the story at all? What should the media do when insiders in the McCain campaign go out of their way to contact the media and tell them that they think Palin has "gone rogue," or that she is working to sabotage the McCain campaign, or that she was totally unprepared and they HAD to sequester her from the media? What should the media say when prominent Republicans endorse Obama, or when they criticize McCain for running a negative campaign?

Obama has had his share of screw ups too, but his positive stories far outnumber his screw ups. That just isn't true of McCain. The Obama campaign has been far better managed and organized than the McCain campaign. To report in a manner that indicates they are both doing equally well at this point in time would be spitting in the face of reality.
