The media is of course not being fair.
It never is!
They were biased towards John McCain,
before Obama left the country,
and they are biased towards John McCain,
now that Obama is out of the country.
Before Obama left,
The WAPO highlighted only the negative Obama parts of its poll,
Newsweek came out with a skewed pro-McCain Poll,
http://jay1949.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/lies-lies-and-opinion-polls-perverting-polls-for-proganda/They Reported that Obama wasn't "funny",
and that Obama is taking a risk going on this trip :scared:
and that Jesse Jackson said stuff, and although he isn't an Obama surrogate,
they kept calling him that anyway.
and they report everything that McCain has to say about Barack
even if its a great big lie,
and the media doesn't challenge any of it.
And then they ask, why isn't Barack ahead by more?
What they don't say; McCain is outspending Barack 2 to 1.
Last week,
the week known as the week that should have ended the McCain campaign,
was barely reported on.
I'm still waiting for McCain's big "joke" to get some treatment.
That's right,
The media barely reports on a whole lot about McCain's mispeaks,
blunders and outright lies.
They try to laugh it off instead.
So yeah, the media is not giving "fair" treatment to our candidates.
McCain gets a lot of positive press, and the negative stuff is hidden,
meanwhile,
Obama gets the negative press, if the press can help it.
