It's pretty funny.
Everyone talks about how baised the media is, all year long.
They're just showing what people want to see. Ratings, baby. Why do you think all FOX does is talk about Obama (negatively) and all MSNBC does it talk about Obama (positively)?
He's good for ratings!
Repubs can't complain. Suppose the republicans had run a Clint Eastwood/Chuck Norris Ticket, with Tom Brady serving as the GOP spokesman. Their coverage would be far outpacing what Obama has gotten. It's not the MSM's fault that the repubs chose an old candidate with little charisma.

In study, evidence of liberal-bias bias Cable talking heads accuse broadcast networks of liberal bias -- but a think tank finds that ABC, NBC and CBS were tougher on Barack Obama than on John McCain in recent weeks.
During the evening news, the majority of statements from reporters and anchors on all three networks are neutral, the center found. And when network news people ventured opinions in recent weeks, 28% of the statements were positive for Obama and 72% negative.
Network reporting also tilted against McCain, but far less dramatically, with 43% of the statements positive and 57% negative, according to the Washington-based media center.

We have to remember, John McCain is the original media sweetheart--straight talk, straight shooter, maverick--the media eats that up.
When it comes to media bias, McCain is the winner.
