From our friend Jed, again. This will be interesting starting with Scarborough. The bias will be noticeable.

A challenge for the cable and broadcast media

As several commenters and e-mailers have noted, now that Barack Obama has responded to John Bush McCain's attack ads with his most forceful counterpunch of the campaign, the question is whether the cable networks and broadcast news networks will spend as much time analyzing Obama's attack on McCain as they have today about McCain's attack on Obama.

And I don't mean analysis of whether or not this hurts or helps Obama -- I mean analysis of whether or not Obama's response helps or hurts McCain. For example, if Barack Obama succeeds in tying McCain and Bush together in the perceptions of independent voters, does John McCain have a chance of winning? Whatever the answer to that question, how effective is Obama's new ad in tying Bush to McCain? And what are the implications for McCain?

Whether or not the media does this tomorrow will be an objective indicator of whether or not they are capable of being fair.
