1. Maybe that's because Obama is positive.
and McCain is a dick. Ever think of that, Joe?

13. Simply an indication of who ran a more positive campaign, f
"reflected positively on Obama in 65 percent of cases, compared to 31 percent of cases with regards to McCain"

Simply an indication of who ran a more positive campaign, focusing on the issues important to a majority of Americans. When you run a nasty, dirty campaign as McCain/Palin has done, you get the 31% that you deserve, and it's showing with Independents and moderate Republicans going with Obama, as evidenced by Pigasso and Garr_1122. I reproduce Garr_1122's post here, because it got cycled off the front page way too quickly.

2. Well, maybe Joe Scab has not considered that ...
... Palin fucks up 90% of the time and Obama gets it right about 99% of the time?

:shrug:

That is NOT media bias ~~ that simply reporting the facts! :hi:

3. 65% positive to Obama when they give him 25% attention
Compared to the practically 75% of the time they spend covering McCain/Palin events.

7. Maybe it could start with the bias on Mourning Joe
People in glass houses should not start throwing stones.

5. Meanwhile, the only time we see Biden is when he says something controversial
Like Obama will be tested. Duh, no shit he will. So will McCain, Hillary, Romney, or ANYONE else who might have been elected. Wasn't bush tested right away with the spyplane that went down in China? Yet, somehow, these were "controversial" remarks.

Sure, that damn lib-rul media strikes again.

8. did anyone see the "piece" that Politico did on the media a week ago
They "investigated" (whatever, politico) whether there really was a media bias against McCain...surprise! It's just that McCain/Palin fuck up more, and it gets reported on...politico even said that there was a memo sent on to them to report on more negative stories about Obama/Biden, but they are just harder to come by...no shit, Sherlock. And they said that most reporters who covered Obama found him to be a "distant and undefined figure" , so they weren't particularly rooting for him anyway...again, whatever politico...who did they talk to, Jake Tapper? It's not his job to be besties with the journalists. But yeah, even politico could not come up with some media bias conspiracy.

9. Good. Keep her on. have you noticed....
now that she's "unleashed", her favorable ratings have continued to slide? That the more she speaks, the more people realize she's a fool, and Obama's ratings climb?

Keep her on. It only helps us.

10. Fixed News had...
the McCain love fest on this morning. It was amazing that this was called "news" as there were three pundits all gossip style trashing Dems. They were ripping KO for showing up at a rehearsal of tonight's SNL saying he was "intimidating" Ben Afleck (who will be impersonating KO in the John McCain SNL issue). They were mocking Obama for spending money in AZ saying he was sticking his finger in McCain's eye.

Simple minded trash reporting....

Since when is spending money in an opponent's home state - which is now competitive - sticking your finger in his eye? They TRASHED Gore when Tennessee was turning red!

:popcorn:

12. They've been doing this for weeks now
they'll run McFailin speeches live and unedited and will carry maybe 5 minutes of an Obama or Biden speech. It's ridiculous.
