Finally, some are coming out and complaining about the outrageous media bias favoring Obama. Bill Maxwell of the St. Petersburg Times has a great article that sums up the damage this hype and spectacle has done to our political process.
Hey, even Saturday Night Live is funny (and relevant) again.
When did Americans become so stupid that they can’t even see the obvious? This why we had Dubya for eight excruciatingly dumb years.
if "Saturday Night Live" had not spoofed journalists for fawning over Sen. Barack Obama, like puppies licking their owners' mouths, the charge of bias probably would have remained a mere wink-and-nod charade.
The CMPA went one better and proved the bias. Fox is the one that is actually fair and balanced?!
The Center for Media and Public Affairs reported that since mid-December, when the Iowa caucuses came into play, Obama has received the lion's share of the positive coverage: "From Dec. 16 through Jan. 27, five out of six on-air evaluations of Obama (84 percent) have been favorable, compared to a bare majority (51 percent) of evaluations of Mrs. Clinton. The gap in good press widened since the New Hampshire primary, with Clinton dropping to 47 percent positive comments and Obama holding steady at 83 percent positive.
"NBC's coverage has been the most critical of Clinton - nearly 2 to 1 negative (36 percent positive and to 64 percent negative). Conversely, ABC's coverage was most supportive - nearly 2 to 1 positive (63 percent vs. 37 percent). CBS and Fox were more balanced - 50 percent positive comments on Fox and 56 percent positive on CBS."
