Close but not the same. There are groups that monitor this stuff. And then you hear the reports. PLUS I have worked within the media and still have friends there and I can tell you there is a strong bias for Obama and they run their coverage vs lack of coverage that way. And it ISN'T their job to do so. There are standards, ethics and values they are supposed to uphold and are taught to uphold but they aren't and haven't for a long long time. It's just too damn obvious this time.<BR/><BR/>When you make a clear decision to cover every last moment and only report good things of one candidate and you don't cover diddly of the other it's biased. You know this...but you want to egg me on. That's ok, even really tired and sleepy I can handle this with ya ;-)A New Yorkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997572457756451648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742667886912606708.post-2860117988040541042008-07-30T00:08:00.000-04:002008-07-30T00:08:00.000-04:00Thanks for typing in Canadian!

I don't remember all the details, just an interview with someone from the left and someone from the right, and the guy from the right said it wasn't unbiased they were left leaning, LOL. Actually ... they were all chuckling about it ... so it's like people are gonna believe what they want to ... regardless of reality. Regardless of whether they're left or right.

To say that they won't allow the words of a presidential nominee to be in print because they/the paper doesn't like how the nominee wrote their own oped piece is extremely biases and THAT is the point.<BR/><BR/>It's the NYTimes job to print the OpEd piece not write it and not demand how it be written or what be said. <BR/><BR/>It's then their job to critique it after it's in print or side by side.<BR/><BR/>They showed bias. And oh Drowsey you know better than to tease and say you have seen nothing to show that the media is biased against McCain and for Obama...that you know is just fodder.<BR/><BR/>DAY OH! :-)A New Yorkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997572457756451648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742667886912606708.post-66246181072832112242008-07-29T17:40:00.000-04:002008-07-29T17:40:00.000-04:00Can't a newspaper reject whatever they want?And di...Can't a newspaper reject whatever they want?<BR/><BR/>And didn't I just see an independent survey come out in the states that said the bias is actually toward Obama!? <BR/><BR/>HA! I bet I know what you're response will be!<BR/><BR/>Remember - when thinking/talking about politics ... just remember my Harry Belafonte post. Day O! Day-ay-ay-O!

Even more than usual. <BR/>Obama's speech in Germany, according to US papers, had a crowd of 200,000.
