Default Media Bias

To be honest I'm leaning toward Obama, but I can't help but notice the liberal media bias.

example: McCain takes the stage to delivery his speech at the RNC and the networks keep flashing to a lone protester hold a sign.

That count is up to 3 now. True Democrat politics. Just like the protesters of the war in Iraq outside the convention who set fires, overturned trash cans and clashed with Police.

Oh before anyone bashes....I am INDEPENDENT.

That is no more bias than wanting to show the streaker running across the field during a televised sporting event. It is interesting to the viewer to see the nut jobs.

I've been searching Yahoo news for an article that was on their home page early today.

The headline was something like "Palin's speech full of lies".

I think they pulled it, because I can't find it anywhere. I'll check my browser history at work tomorrow and see if I can find it.

I was one of the worst excuse for journalism that I've ever read.

I am liking his speech so far, very impressed that he hasn't been slinging mud.

There was another Yahoo headline that read "Palin: Democrats spreading misinformation and lies". If you read the article it basically stated the neither Obama, Biden, or anyone officially connected with the campaign spread any lies, but some liberal bloggers have. This headline gives a false impression of the Democrats mudslinging.

I saw this one...it's not the article I was referring to.

It was one of the main stories on Yahoo. The ones with a picture that rotate in the center.

I've think they pulled it.

Wasn't there a study not too long ago that the network news shows were doing more negative stories on Obama than on McCain?
