Media Bias? What Media Bias?

If anyone is doubting the clear and obvious media bias against McCain-Palin in favor of Obama-Biden, this should change your mind. The money question is about 2:05 into this clip. Notice the response from the CNN interviewer:





Then we have this about the media coverage of the candidates:
The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism preformed a comprehensive analysis of this year's campaign coverage, reviewing "more than 2,000 stories from 43 news outlets from print, online, TV and radio, during six critical weeks of the general election phase from the end of the conventions through the final presidential debate."

Their findings? John McCain received nearly twice as much negative press coverage as did Barack Obama. According to the report, 57% of the stories about John McCain during the period between September 8 and October 16 were "clearly negative in tone," compared to 29% for Obama. Conversely, stories that were "clearly positive in tone" favored Obama over McCain by a factor of more than two to one, 36% for Obama to just 14% for McCain.

Gateway Pundit includes the following comments to this story:
The study also said that the biased coverage of Sarah Palin was improving.
...Really?

Since the popular Governor Palin is bringing in record crowds it's not surprising the media is wondering if she's a liability.
She's interfering on the Marxisant radical's coronation.

Joe Biden just told supporters that is Obama is so weak that there will be an international crisis if he is elected.
But, the media wonders if record-setting Palin is a drag on the ticket?

Most. Corrupt. Media. Ever.
As if there was any doubt before, no one in their right mind could think the media isn't in the tank for Obama on this election after seeing this information. But, it doesn't stop there. Not only are the media in the tank for Obama, but they are actively carrying out a campaign to suppress voter turnout for McCain-Palin. Take a look...

CNN said on Monday:
The McCain campaign is looking at an Electoral College strategy heading into the final two weeks that has virtually no room for error and depends heavily on a dramatic comeback in Pennsylvania, which hasn't backed a Republican for president in 20 years.

While Iowa, New Mexico and Colorado are still officially listed as McCain target states, two top strategists and advisers tell CNN that the situation in those states looks increasingly bleak.

"Gone," was the word one top McCain insider used to describe those three states.

This source said while the polls in Colorado remain close, he and most others in the operation were of the opinion that the Obama campaign and its allies have a far superior ground/turnout operation and "most of us have a hard time counting on Colorado."

The reality:
CNN published this bogus report as VP Candidate Sarah Palin was setting all-time attendance records in Grand Junction just yesterday.
22,000 supporters showed up to see Governor Sarah Palin break a Grand Junction record!

"First Dude" Todd Palin is making four campaign stops in western Colorado and Denver on Tuesday. Todd will be at a Village Inn Restaurant in Glenwood Springs, the Eagle Diner in Eagle and the McCain-Palin campaign headquarters in Eagle on Tuesday morning.
So, what we see here is that CNN is citing anonymous sources that declare the McCain camp has all but given up on Colorado, but at the same time the McCain-Palin ticket is all over the state and drawing record-breaking crowds while doing it! All of the named (and therefore much more reliable) sources interviewed say the CNN report is untrue.

This is just the latest in a long line of slanted actions performed by the media to elect the Obamessiah. The difference is -- as you can see for yourself -- that they are simply getting more obvious about it. Rather than professing to be objective, they're at least now being honest that they've given up objectivity. I guess that might be why the major networks are shedding viewers.

Still, the truth is a powerful antidote to this kind of spin. If enough truth gets out to enough people, both the Obamessiah and his hacks in the media will lose on November 4th.

Spread the word.

There's my two cents.
