Media Admits Bias

Democrat Barack Obama has had about a 3 to 1 advantage over Republican John McCain in Post Page 1 stories since Obama became his party's presumptive nominee June 4. Obama has generated a lot of news by being the first African American nominee, and he is less well known than McCain -- and therefore there's more to report on. But the disparity is so wide that it doesn't look good.

In overall political stories from June 4 to Friday, Obama dominated by 142 to 96. Obama has been featured in 35 stories on Page 1; McCain has been featured in 13, with three Page 1 references with photos to stories on inside pages. Fifteen stories featured both candidates and were about polls or issues such as terrorism, Social Security and the candidates' agreement on what should be done in Afghanistan.

Well thanks guys for admitting something that the rest of us already knew.  You have your lips firmly attached to Obama's ass and are treating him like he's the second coming of Jesus.

Doing so means that you're not asking the tough questions he needs to be asked.  Doing so means that, if elected and he does poorly, you will endanger Democrats ability to get elected for a generation.
