Are the media leaning harder towards McCain now?

[Marsala]

It seems like the media have started to be biased more towards the Repukes over the last couple of days. Could this be due to the perception that Obama is running away with it and they need to make it close again?

1. Yes

I believe they take it easier on the underdog.

2. Bingo

They can see people going to bed at 9pm on election night already knowing Obama has won in a landslide. They need people rivetted to their TV until midnight taking in cialis commercials.

3. What examples have you seen of this?

I haven't been watching the media much.

4. They need to keep the race TIGHT in order to keep people watching and ratings high!

5. Tight, in order to win.

6. Don't worry as we get into the final leg of the campaign they will think they have to get harder on

Obama now--and they will.

7. I'll say it again

The news companies are not in the business of reporting news, but making news, which is all dependent on ratings. If they make it seem to be the race to the finish that it's probably not, then they get higher viewership on a daily basis.

8. It's due to the fact that the MSM is owned by the repukes and has been for a long time.

FOX isn't the only right wing news station.. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC (with the ONLY exceptions being K.O. and R.M.) are all repuke leaning.

11. Examples? Please? For the media-deprived? n/t
