Two photo ops show how obvious the media bias is against Obama. |
|
Obama has a photo op at the bowling alley. He bowls a 37 in a 7-frame game with a child bowling some of those frames. The media response is to mock and deride and lament about how this is going to cause him trouble with the blue-collar worker. We hear about it for days and days.
Hillary has a photo op at a gas station, where she doesn't know how to pump gas, can't operate the coffee machine and then whips out her credit card to pay, while millions of people out there are suffering from the credit crunch. The media's response is basically "Oh, how quaint." They make the excuses for her and nary a word about the blue-collar worker or this photo op's impact on her campaign. It will be a one day story.
This isn't about how "out of touch" either of these candidates are. This is about how the media is definitely biased against Obama in their coverage. These two exact situations and the difference in how they are covered proves the point perfectly...the media is holding one candidate to a different standard than the other.
