Question

Do you get the impression that most of the news media seems to have a bias for Obama for President?

Answer 1

Yeah, it does kind of seem that way. He is the best candidate, though.

Remember how Hillary (sp?) was accusing him of stuff he didn't do. She was using dirty, dirty tricks to get votes. McCain is just as evil as The Monkey. I mean, honestly, we're all sooo over war.

x*x

Answer 2

I think they sort-of do. Or at least, they list their opinions on Obama more than Mccain.

Don't get mad at me, but where I live, all the young people[under 30] want Obama, and all the old people want Mccain. I could believe that the media is trying to appeal to a certain audience.

Answer 3

Sure doesn't look like there is an pretext about anymore, especially by NBC's Anderea Mitchell

Answer 4

MSNBC is the worst of all of them and their ratings show it. Even Lou Dobbs has questioned CNN's agenda. When hard news is replaced by political bias it is a threat to the American way of life.

Answer 5

I do agree that Obama has gotten a lot of free press.  Like McCain/Palin are right now getting a bunch of extra free press painting his new ultra-conservative hottie like the Brady mom whose going to sweep in and save the world.  

If you can't handle real news coverage just go back to fox.  Here's a few good examples for you.

Answer 6

I heard one of the women commentators on CNN refer to Obama as "our candidate".  I thought news people were suppose to be neutral at least on the air.  

Answer 7

The media is supposed to give unbiased reporting but they do not...they have their favorites and try to uplift them in their media outlet.

I will not be voting for Obama...I hope McCain wins however if Obama should win I hope he does not have a hidden agenda for our country to undermine it.

Answer 8

YES the liberal disgusting media have a lot to answer for

BUT LUCKILY they are out of touch with grass roots americans

Answer 9

It's not an impression it's a fact. Media has been covering Obama 3 or 4 to one over McCain.

Answer 10

Yes, they do.  What I can't figure out is WHY they want this clown as president.  Is Israeli money behind it?  Is Oprah money?  I mean where does his money come from?  It's almost like someone want this clown as president so the whole country will fall apart (which it will).

Answer 11

it doesnt really show does it?

:)

after mccain announcing Palin. Chris Mathews is in his apartment crying in the corner trying to get that "trickle feeling" back in his leg!

He has a life size poster of obama by his bed he prays to each night.

Answer 12

The Media is always in the tank for Democrats. It's been that way for as long a I can remember.

Answer 13

Two words, LIBERAL 'EFFIN MEDIA, oh that's 3 heh..  

Answer 14

Yes.  Especially Fox and Rush.

Answer 15

CNN=Clinton News Network..Fox=McCain..MSNBC=Osama

Answer 16

I feel that they have a bias against Obama. If you are not apart of what general america thinks you should be, then they will have a bias against you. Especially, when you are intelligent, powerful and have alot of backing. They are scared of something that they don't understand, or can't control..  

Answer 17

wtf are you talking about they are talking about palin now.

the last week was the democratic convention.

if you wanna see mccain go to fox.

Answer 18

If so, they have good judgement and a keen sense of how huge the stakes are and how we can't afford more GOP incompetence.

Answer 19

If you want to hear some pro- McCain comments- watch Fox news. They are so biased toward McCain it's unbelievable!

Answer 20

Remember when they announced Al Gore won in 2000 before all the votes were counted? The media is full of liberals and there's nothing we can do about it.

Answer 21

what gave you that idea..the msnbc crew on the last night of obams's pep rally were wearing obama shirts hats and cheering at the end of his speech...you really think they are biased?...na..

btw fox new was one of Hillary's biggest donors to the tune of $500,000...so you can't say they are right wing.

the have given McCain $0

Answer 22

That's a big yes.  They created Candidate Hype.  And they're still sitting on a lot of info on him.  

Answer 23

I've noticed that aside from the scared kids at Q&A, and a handful of talking heads paid for by Karl Rove, that americans are sick and tired of Bush/Cheney and they rightly see McCain as under their thrall.

Answer 24

Impression?!?!  Heck they practically hit you over the head with it.

Answer 25

Essentially yes, but that's only because they see him as nothing more than a "good story", being the first black presidential candidate. Don't worry though, Fox is still a radical Republican tv station, and the Republican answer to the radical Democratic stations.

Also, I Love how the Republicans flock to this question and automatically give a thumbs down to anyone who mentions Fox... it's funny how afraid and insecure the Republicans are turning. Democrats may be the most annoying people in all existence, but at least they aren't becoming as paranoid as the Republicans.

Answer 26

Talking heads at NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR, MSNBC, CNN and others I probably missed are de facto employees of the Obama The Messiah Tour of 2008.

Answer 27

I mean really how much air time can you give a guy that starts every comment with “my friends”, includes his POW experience as part of every answer.  30 min of McCain and you know the full story, more of the same.  

Answer 28

Not true.  Try Fox and other Fox affiliates.  

Answer 29

Yes, and they should he is clearly the only choice for President.

Answer 30

Yes.  Liberal media.

Answer 31

No, actually there have been studies done and they show that most of the coverage of Obama is critical, negative.  Thats because the media is owned by wealthy conservative Republicans--GE owns NBC, Disney owns ABC, Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch, Clear Channel owns about 2000 radio stations and the owners of it are personal friends of Mr. Bush.  So the media wants Obama to lose, all they do is criticize him.  Did you notice during the Democratic Convention, whenever a speaker came on, they'd have their commentators waste time talking about something irrelevant.  The media is a tool of the Republican Party, you don't get any news from them any more, just propaganda for the Republicans.
