The way I remember it they were about even but the press was still criticizing Clinton a lot at that time.
Does it upset you that everyone is disagreeing with you?

Does it upset you that you are asking weird questions, like you think you are a shrink?

Raharu Haruha , CRIMSON MASK and Toby are not going to get responses from me anymore. So they can carry on with their silly little comments. They have lost their privilege to debate with me.

Because there are more issues with Obama currently. And you are really reaching if you're counting his bowling score as a negative story.

Wright is not old, and most of the stories on it have since died down.

Gore had a few negatives, but Bush far and away got more at the time. Against Kerry he had more initially but the swiftboat story put Kerry in the lead. They went with what was hot.

By the way, where was the link to those stats?

It definitely is not a privilege to debate with you. And, give us the ball back.

Default Me weighing in

You don't determine bias in the media based upon who/what gets the positive attention and who/what gets the negative attention. You determine media bias based on who/what gets attention and who doesn't. Obama and Hillary are getting a lot of attention because the media cares about them (Obama a bit more, I think). McCain doesn't get attention because the media doesn't like him as much and he doesn't affect who wins the Democrat ticket. The war isn't getting attention because the media is sweeping success under the rug. To the media, not talking about something is almost like it doesn't exist, and using that idea, the media can affect public opinion.

What gets me even more than that is the "news" doesn't even report facts objectively or detachedly anymore. The news is a lot about ratings and entertainment. It has gotten to the point where I figure that the news is just another show, just like anything else on television. The news is no longer relevant to real life and doesn't inform the public about things that actually matter. It is just a sideshow.

Of course it is. But it has been like that for years. It comes from the right and the left though.
