Why was the media not as tough on Obama as it is on Palin.


The media has always insisted it is not biased but if you have listened to CNN during

the Republican convention you would need to be biased yourself not to pick up on the

obvious pro Democrat rehtoric. Obama has had more air time in the past 6 months than he could ever pay for. Maybe I'm watching the wron stations but I see Obama ves McCain at least 5 to 1.

Maybe the media "is" tougher on Palin because she is so silly.

tax breaks, and he would only allow access to the best news tidbits to the friendliest news organisations, and he gave Rupert Murdoch and Clear Channel whatever regulations and deregulations they wanted

The media had their nose's up W's ass because of all the tax breaks he shelled their way. Typical big business response...

This is merely a product of the 24 hour news cycle. There is pressure to get a story, ANY story about her out...She has sprung out onto the main stage like some kind of jack in the box, nobody saw her coming, and they are scrambling to find something, anything about her. And the easiest stuff to find is the ALWAYS been the negative stuff. Compare this to Obama, who has been out there, approachable, has been an oncoming storm for the last two years. Journalists have been able to take the time to look at everything he has to say and everything he has done up to this point.  You can't possibly say that the media is anti republican after the genital spongebath that they gave Bush for the first six years of his term, before Hurricane Katrina.
