Saying the media narrative is biased against McCain and for Obama is like saying....
Edited on Tue Oct-28-08 01:34 PM by scheming daemons
Sports media is biased against the Cincinnati Bengals and for the Tennessee Titans.


One team is winless, the other is undefeated. And the coverage in sports media reflects that.



The reason there are more positive stories about Obama than McCain is because Obama is running a better campaign than McCain.

The reason there are more negative stories about McCain than Obama is because McCain is running a horrible campaign.



The stories reflect reality. Prior to mid-September, the media narrative was pretty equal for both sides. Once the credit crisis began, the narrative turned south for McCain. Then there were the debates in which Obama won handily.


McCain is the Cincinnati Bengals. He's getting bad press because his team is losing every contest.

1. Very true
If the media was biased against McCain they would be reporting on his abysmal voting record on Veteran's issues. They would also be doing more reporting on Palin's ties to the Alaskan Independence Party.
