Do you think that the media is too much biased in terms of the democratic race by showing favoritism towards Obama and continually bashing Hillary? Even after the Democratic race has ended, do you still think that the media is portraying Obama in all his advantages without scrutinizing his flaws? For example his limited experience in office and his questionable ties with other people.

Yeah, they don't know whether they are supporting a Presidential candidate or an American Idol candidate. Whichever generates the most news. Pitiful.

The only major media outlet that isn't shouting Obama's praises is FOX. The rest think he can do no wrong. The worst of these is CNN they are so in the tank for Obama that they have totally lost the ability to say they are unbiased.

no not really. The media has shown a fair amount of hatred towards Obama particularly Fox News and I can find plenty of negative articles about him. However the same seems to apply to McCain which I suppose is only fair.

Frankly I believe that the country is in more dire straights than presented in the media. In addition, Hillary Clinton has always had public relations problems. I respect her very much for her accomplishments. Retrospectively, Hillary has made vigorous mistakes of someone of her stature. Obama on the other hand; came from no where with hope and inspiration. Obama's ties to certain associates unjustifiable. Elected Officials are constantly surrounded with various individuals with and without questionable agendas. Should we examine closer those associates of Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton or John McCain, evidential support avails.

Of course they do.

Obama is in violation of the law. You don't see articles written by the liberal media covering it:

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171,
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

Even a member of the American Civil Rights Union, Kenneth Blackwell, stated in a February 14, 2008 article in the NYSun.com, "Beyond Obama's Beauty", that because he's black, he's getting away with stuff that no other politician before him could ever get away with!

Quoting just part of it:

"...Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant.

...It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama."

Up Date:

I'll take janice h comment one step further: CNN was once the the USA's number one news media, but it's so baised in it's so-called "coverage" of the News that Fox News is now considered number one. And has been for over two years now.

No. "Fox News". Obama is going through a politically lynching. McCain gets the free pass. (=

The mainstream media always supports the more left of two candidates. It liked Hillary, until Obama showed up. Obama is more liberal than Hillary. So Obama becomes the media's new favorite.

Absolutely! Had CNN and MSNBC portrayed Obama negatively like they did Hillary...Dean, Brazille...everyone would be whining and crying!

I never thought I would say this...but Fox has been more fair! I am boycotting CNN and MSNBC. I think people like Campbell Brown (who is a republican), Chris Matthews, Tim Russert...need to go!
