I just think it shows just how paranoid people are about the candidates they are backing, whether they be Democratic or Republican.

 

What's funny about this whole media bias thing is that it was all started by Fox News. When they became the mouthpiece for the Republican agenda, you saw other networks take the opposing view to counter that.

 

And don't even try telling me that Fox News isn't biased toward the Republicans just as MSNBC is biased toward the Dems.

Many prominent Democrats disagree and they have begun to point out that the media bias for Obama is backfiring. Hillary Clinton and many of her supporters are on record saying that Fox News was more fair in its coverage of her campaign than NBC and MSNBC.

I'll go on record as saying the media bias concerning this election has been terrible. And it will eventually backfire on them. But all of them are biased -- except maybe C-Span and BBC.

 

As a Republican, I would think the media's handling of Palin is going exactly how you would want it to go. Who wants to watch someone get bombarded with personal questions when they are an attractive female with a family that includes a child with Down's Syndrome? Of the four major candidates, Palin gets more sympathy votes because the way she has been portrayed than McCain being a POW.

 

But at the end of the day, it's John McCain running for President and not Sarah Palin. Those people who are casting their vote because of Palin is why our nation is struggling. I'm not too concerned on Palin's views on a lot of things because she isn't running for president. John McCain is.

I guess it depends on one's perspective. IMO, the BBC is one of the most liberal sources of news in existence this side of MSNBC. C-SPAN is not nearly as objective as it was in its earlier years. C-SPAN has always had a relatively conservative audience. I think that the network tipped its hand when it decided a few years ago to go to Democrat, Republican, and Independent phone numbers for its call-in shows. Instead of phone calls fairly reflecting the views of its audience, it became much easier for liberal callers to get on the air than conservative callers.
