I don't think there is any doubt that the media is in the tank for Obama:

Washington Times - BLANKLEY: Media chronicles

My question is, what will you do about it? What can we do about it?

Before you go blaming the media, you really have to look at the hand they were dealt. McCain/Palin are secretive, erratic, avoid questions, and they lie to the public continuously. When you won't talk to the media, they go elsewhere for the answers (i.e., the oppostion) and you can't control the spin.

Even the media knows that McCain is a bad choice. After 7.5 years of being willing accomplices to the Bush Admin., I think the thought of four more years of Bush/McCain is too much for even the useless mainstream media

McCain and Palin are digging their own holes here by constantly attacking the media and refusing interviews/press conferences.

Just outrageous behavior. It is so very obvious they want this man to win at all costs.

2008 - The year real journalism died.

Fox News came into existence well before 2008.

In the gated community that I live in there are rules that you can not have anything on front lawn ESP signs .

I have lost count of how many Mccain signs I see including board members lawns . I am NOT voting for Mccain but thought you would like that
