I would be mad if I were a Clinton supporter too (XM Satellite Radio POTUS)
I was listening to the XM Satellite Radio channel POTUS08 and I have to say, they are biased against Clinton. They are also biased against Dems. Everytime I turned it on early in the primaries, they were covering a speach by a Repub. Now, with the GOP race mostly determined, they are focusing on the Dems. However, they do seem to be siding with the Obama camp and have pretty much destroyed the following tactics of the Clinton campaign:

1. The cowardice to debate
2. Attempts to divide the party with Michigan and Florida
3. Attempts to subvert the rules by going after Obama's delegates
4. Plagiarism story
5. Rezko
6. And they've even called the Pride story a non-issue and overblown by the Clinton campaign.

They had interviews with both Obama and Clinton staffers and I gotta admit, they were easy on the Obama team.

They had a long segment on how Bill Clinton has caused much of the campaign grief and totally portrayed him as a wild-eyed coot whose time has passed.

While I agree with them on much of their technical analysis, I was not comfortable with the apparent bias and systematic tear-down of Clinton's campaign with absolutely no critical analysis of the Obama campaign (again, I don't think there have been serious mistakes by the Obama team and they've run a brilliant campaign).

To top it off, they also had a story on Clinton supporters who have called or written in to complain. They ended up making them sound like tin-foil conspiracy theorists.

Again, while I agree with them (I believe Clinton's woes are completely the fault of her Campaign managers and that the recent negative attacks seemed to be over the top desperation move), I still feel there should be some acknowledgement of bias. Perhaps they should come out and endorse Obama.
