Wow, the pivotal Durango endorsement.

And just WHO might these papers have endorsed in previous elections?

Glad the media isn’t biased.. OPPS…
..What’s troubling to anyone old-fashioned enough to care about standards in journalism is the news coverage in mainstream media. Forget the old notions of objectivity, fairness, thoroughness, and so on. The nastiest rumours on both sides haven’t been published, but the coverage has been slavishly on the side of “the one”.

It has not just been anti-Republican. It goes without saying that after eight years of George Bush’s macho blunders, the disenchantment of even the conservative outlets was bound to show. Researchers at the Project for Excellence in Journalism report that in the six weeks since the Republican convention, McCain, once the darling of the media, got four times as many negative stories as positive ones. Meanwhile, Obama got twice as many positive stories as McCain. The website Politico has also acknowledged that it had loaded the dice against McCain: 100 stories were more favourable to Obama than McCain; 69 were the opposite…

Dej:

OR, it could be that there’s not much negative to say about Obama and there’s a boatload of negativity to say about McCain??

It IS entirely possible that McPlain hasn’t given anyone anything positive to write. However, with this president being among the least popular EVER, and his vice president holding the same distinction, AND the people getting sick of hearing the same old thing from the entire republican party, it makes sense that there’s nothing but negativity to write about regarding that party………

But, here we go. Blame the media. The same media that DIDN’T hold the Bush administration accountable for doctoring the intelligence to support their case for invading Iraq. Maybe, just maybe, the media has wised up.
