Right on Jill.

Like CNN interrupting a discussion of media bias to let us know Obama’s plane has landed safely! (Praise the Lord!)

Thats got to be right up there with “Elvis has left the building”.

It is so obvious the media is trying to shove Obama down our throats and I am so glad McCain spoke up about this. Obama just plains scares me as he doesn’t have a clue how to run a country! He thinks going on a junket replace the experience we need for our next President on foreign policy. I’m voting for McCain based on his experience, competence, and family values. We are in a terrible energy crisis and we need a straight talking man like McCain in the White House, not Obama who says anything he thinks people want to hear just to get elected. Our great country deserves a great President–that’s why I am voting for John McCain!

I think we are going to have an early winter.

The nuts are beginning to fall out of the trees.

Bias would not be so bad if the media outlets were up front about it.

Thanks for your comment, Liem. The point isn’t that they have their own political beliefs. That is just fine. However, if their personal beliefs get in the way of providing fair coverage, that is a problem. The public has the perception that such is the case (as highlighted by Rasmussen), and studies have concluded an overwhelming bias (see HERE).

I’ll add that my personal preference would be to see that media outlets provide information about their employees contributions if (and only if) those employees are contributing to stories about the candidates (that goes for Fox News as much as MSNBC). I think not doing so hides a glaring conflict of interest. And, for the sake of full disclosure, I’ve donated to both Romney and (more recently and to a lesser extent) McCain this cycle, as well as to the GOP.

And between PBS and BBC last evening you’d think by Christ the opinions of the French and Germans were more important than Americans in our own election.

Yeah I like France and Germany, great food, great beer, great countries generally and Im glad we helped them out over the years, but you mean tell me they are that sissified anymore that they couldn’t handle another right of center President?

How dare journalists have personal beliefs outside of their careers. If they had any dedication to their profession at all, they would vote Republican and Democrat equally on the same ballot.
