Media Bias

The media bias in all political campaigns is pretty apparent if you are paying attention. This obviously and unfairly sways the election. What do you make of this? What do you see as a viable solution?

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said "I do" to?

What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she was in a car crash, gained 40 pounds and no longer measured up to his standards?

What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama were a member of the "Keating 5"?

What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?

This is what racism does.

It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.


The fact that the media continues to call McSame a "maverick" simply because he calls himself one, despite voting with Bush 92% is hysterical.

Likewise, Obama has received a free pass on a variety of issues.

Fox leans right, MSNBC leans left.

People are fools if they rely on the mainstream news to provide them with an accurate view of what's going on. These are the same people that bought Bush's WMD story hook, line, and sinker.

The media has always been biased to the right. How could anyone not see it. They are in the tank for McCain. Its plainly obvious.

I know I will get flamed by all the lefties, but I think Fox is the most unbiased.

The way they lean lean right in my eyes, is that they get much more heavy hitting analysts/hosts from the right (Newt, Hannity, ect) simply by default because the other networks won't put them on.

Also, its not like they hide AP stories, especially not online. They give just as much anti-McCain AP play as pro-McCain. I don't think that is true for other networks.

Give me an example of Fox reporting that is "out there". I'm not talking about what Hannity says during analysis, but actual reporting.

I won't flame you because you have a "right" to your opinion. I just totally disagree with you on this, which is my "right".

This was the top story this morning. Definitely not written to be flattering for McCain.

I am just curious why can someone not use Hannity as an example, but when discussing MSNBC nothing is off limits?

Hannity is not a journalist. The two biggest shows (O'Reilly and H&C) do not claim to be news. They are opinion shows.

Olbermann, Schuster, etc....claim to be journalists and news.
