Actually, the report is about the whining right as they complain about having things be uncovered. They don't like it and they are pulling a Nixon.

Hillary made the same charges about the media a few months ago. The media is in the tank for Obama.

Default Left wing media bias is well documented this year.

But it has existed in most of the past few elections. It does seem even worse this time around though.

If I were Mc, when elected I would simply ban MSNBC,NBC, and a few others from press conferences of any type.

The media is not here to steer elections, or shouldn't be.

You will have to excuse me while I laugh my arse off if the media does manage to find something big and American's don't believe them.

And I may agree with that but the fact that Hillary, a top Democrat, admitted the Obama bias really reveals how strong it is.

Hillary complained about everything. Every news channel has a bias - most mainstream TV stations are slightly liberal, Fox is very conservative, radio is very conservative, and the internet is split. It goes both ways.

I would agree! Banning certain proven biased news sources would be a fair way to level the playing field. Excellent idea.

Send your suggestion to McCain so their camp can plan ahead.
