Don't even want to comment on Chris Matthews......what a loser!

The media has given john mccain a free ride so why does he whine he should be happy the media doesnt report all of his gaffes as well as his voting records instead of complaning about the media he should be thanking them well wheres the so called liberal media????

!

That seems to be an idea that is hard to support. Anyone see the picture of the ONE reporter greeting McCain in NH?

The press covers for McCain. CBS edited his interview to make it make sense. How many other times has the press done something like that? McCain is frequently making foolish statements about which country does or does not exist, which countries share a border, which group is sponsoring terrorists, etc. yet you'll be hard pressed to find those comments in the press.

Obama is more exciting so he gets more press time. Press is an entertainment business after all. On the other hand, the press projects a better vision of McCain than he is providing.

McCain consistently was positively positioned in the media...

It's one thing to get a lot fo attention...but this is not like some starlet...

it is about how much positive vs. negative press you get.

and mcCain doesn't get a lot of negative press...they tip toe around him.

They trash obama almost as much as they hype him...so as much attention as he gets ...it's a wash.

McCain gets a love letter while he calls out the refs falsely every other minute.

You ever play a pick-up game where the guy is always calling every issue in his own favor just because he is losing. That is McCain.

Sure they like McCain. That's the reason all the news anchors went with BHO on his phony trip. Pretty simple!

Obama doesn't visit wounded soldiers because he didn't want to make them political. Really, is there anybody in the whole world who believes such tripe!

this guy just changed his position on withdrawal......he was giving Obama and Hillary hell when they were proposing this in the primary........seems very biased.....Obama is no media darling....they flock around him so everyone is present when he gaffes

S

the news anchors went on that trip as much to catch Obama in a gaffe as they did to cover an international trip where they knew thousands were going to be waving American flags and world leaders may be praising America.

The gaffes didn't happen...the flags and praising did.
(which they didn't when McCain went surprise surprise...so please stop calling out the refs on false pretense)

McCain is lucky they don't cover him more...if they did ...every day would be a cleanup of his message and gaffes.

Mccain could not take all the attention with all the scrutiny...

and that is the truth...and repubs know it.

If the media believe performs as its required, then they do not need to hear any complaints from either of the candidates and put in account.

If they do, then there is something wrong in their performance!

Take a look at the ABC politics page. Most of Obama`s coverage is negative. Most of them he`s been attacked by McCain who has no plan on his own.

The Berlin speech was advertised as a rock concert..3 bands spoke before OBAMA...that's why the 200,000 people...
The Press is fooling you again!!

Judgment vs experience.
Judgment is always supreme.

Obama 08.

You can go back and forth with this all you want but Obama gets all the news because he is more intresting than a grumpy old man. The press prints what people want to see, thats why we consantly hear about who Miley cyrus is hooked up with or how crazy Brittany Spears is this week. Obama is the new guy so they will focus more on him. I think Mcsame/Mclame, should be happy because if he were in the spotlight the Iraq/Pakastan border might get over ran!

Harry can you name those bands that spoke? I want to check them out they have to be up there with the Stones or the Beatles to draw that many people.

It's a distraction, accusing the press of 'liberal' or 'Obama' bias. Neither is true but if McCain keeps saying it, and the press keeps reporting it it approaches truthiness. It's a great tactic for deflecting honest reporting. Bush has done it for years and The Press falls for it every time!

McCain should be thankful for the lack of attention considering his horrendous voting record on veterans' support legislation. How dare he claim to be the candidate of veterans when he systematically voted against every piece of legislation meant to improve the benefits for veterans?!

There is a different benchmark being used for Democratic and Republican nominees.
For the Democrat, the bar is on perfect, so nearly everything he does (anything less than perfect) is reported as a negative.

The bar for the Republicans is so low for their nominee it is actually on the ground now for McCain. So whatever McCain does is reported as neutral or positive.

It is a double standard that we shouldn't be surprised at.

The media for far too long has been giving McCain a free pass!

Just as an example, none of the major networks discredited McCain's "Obama doesn't support the troops" ad. That ad was the biggest bunch of crap that the McCain camp has put out so far. It's riddled with lies, and the media just doesn't even make the effort to challenge it.

Everything Obama says and does is parsed beyond belief. And in the meanwhile McCain is making unreported gaffe after unreported gaffe.
