Do you folks think Biden has gotten the short end of the media stick?

[progressiveforever]

It seems to me that he is being ignored, and when he is not, he is being criticized.

[NightWatcher]

1. no news is good news. Let McFailin sink themselves.

Obama shouldnt change a thing with how he's winning this election

[polichick]

2. Agreed - I've called msnbc and cnn about it. Stinks!

[1corona4u]

3. Of course....

[jillan]

4. Who criticized him today?

From what I saw on msnbc, he was getting lots of praise today.

But, yeah, he has been ignored by the media.

[progressiveforever]

8. Somebody on the Today Show

Called him a loose cannon in passing, but that was it. He is just being ignored...and he is a great guy on every level.

[jillan]

11. He gets labeled that, but not McCain or Palin.

You figure it out, cuz I sure can't.

[napi21]

5. He certainly was while they were all slobbering over the Barracuda,

but coverage seems to have pretty much evened out now.

[liberalmuse]

6. Hell yeah, and it pisses me off.

This man is probably the best VP pick in my lifetime, or at the very least, as good as Johnson. He's much more interesting than that other VP pick. I wish he'd get more coverage. This guy is solid, yet I'm sure he's not surprised he's being ignored, and further, doesn't care. He's doing a tremendous job out there for Obama in the ground game, which will be the only game that matters in the end.

[Cha]

18. Yeah, what you said..

We'll keep Biden front and center! :bounce:

[HughMoran]

7. Even Olbermann & Rachel play the troll P* more than him

OTOH, he was grieving a family death until today, so it was not all the media's fault.

[breakaleg]

9. Better to ignore the VP candidate that the Presidential one. McCain should feel bad for being

out shined by his running mate.

[progressiveforever]

12. Yes, you are correct but I'm afraid that if it were not for the Internet...

we wouldn't even know Biden was a part of this race. And that is a real shame.

[stillcool]

15. If it were not for the Internet..

I'd be as dumb as Sarah Palin!

[chiefofclarinet]

17. If it were not for the Internet, I would still think John Sidney McCain III was "an honorable man."

And this is not a joke. Stupid MSM.

[AllieB]

10. The more Failin' is in the spotlight, the greater scrutiny is placed on her.

The charm has worn off, and her true colors are being exposed. Just look at her recent polls.

[elleng]

13. Probably,

but keep in mind that he was 'off duty' this weekend, after his mother in law passed away.

[MissDeeds]

14. He's not being covered much

But the media usually chooses to cover disasters, hence the attention given to the twinkie from the tundra. :crazy:

[Curtland1015]

16. In all honesty... he doesn't get any less than many VP candidates do.

It's just that Palin gets so much MORE coverage than your average VP candidate does.

[ShadowLiberal]

19. Politico did a story on this a few weeks ago, how it feels like a 2 on 1 contest against Obama

The problem isn't lack of access to Biden either, he now offers more access to the press then any of the other candidates. Reporters travel with him regularly, but the people at the stations who actually 'edit' and 'write' the stories and headlines on the news are the people who keep writing Biden out of the story.

[doc03]

20. Lieberman gets more coverage than Biden n/t

[Clio the Leo]

21. We will hopefully be seeing plenty of him for the next 8 years....

..... it's ok.
