Obama's been around nationally since 2004, Biden has been around forever, and McCai has been on the national scene since the Civil War.
It just seems that way because IT IS THAT WAY!!

All the other candidates have been hammered endlessly by the press over the past 18 months. They have licked their wounds and moved on. Palin is fresh meat and just needs to weather the storm. The media is doing its job - no big conspiracy.

I beg to differ....the stats show that McCain and Palin have been badgered by the press almost 3 x what Obama and Biden have been.

Palin has only been on the scene for a week, and she has already been badgered three times more than Obama and Biden? I would love to see those statistics!

What stats? Care to name a source? I mean other than Fox News or ProudCapnMarine.

That must be why the MSM showed MORE of the speeches and movies during the 3 days of the RNC than during the 4 days of the DNC.

As someone else posted above, try factcheck sometime, or mediamatters. The MSM never call McCain when he trots out his lies about; telling Bush to fire Rumsfeld, saying Obama will raise everyone's taxes, saying Obama never authored any legislation, that Obama never "reached across the isle".

The MSM constantly allow the McCain campaign to say that he's a leader on; veteran's issues, despite voting against the new GI Bill (actually I can't recall if he even showed up to vote), trying to fix immigration, despite the fact that McCain failed to support the bill that he had proposed.

It seems to mostly be Campbell Brown. I'm starting to really dislike her, she's just about as bad as Paula Zahn used to be.

I am a moderate independent with no ties to either party. The media's fawning over Obama and Biden has been sickening. It has gotten a little less since Obama's return from his fantastic journey through Europe but for anyone to say that the media isn't biased is delusional at best.
