2. I remember the blatantly raicst crap in KAtrina
The "Survivors" "found things" to survive, whereas the looter looted from other people beause, well, he was a looter.

4. Exactly. Perfect representation; there must be thousands more examples, too.
BIG k/r--and hoping for lots more contributions of blatant media bias in this thread.

7. I've noticed with the Comcast homepage, when something negative about McCain comes up,
they always spin it as "McCain fires at critics," always giving the impression that poor Johnny was wrongly accused of something by some damn liberal.

9. We should do this every day to the Corporate Media's web sites
because examples can be found EVERY day of this garbage.

The Obama headlines try to cast doubt on him and show him as weak. The McCain headlines all show him as "aggressive" and "independant".
