A week after the media skewers Governor Palin on personal issues, and reported a myriad of false internet rumors as facts. The media is back on their high horse with shock and outrage at the McCain campaign. How dare he compete in this race? This is supposed to be the media’s year, I mean the Democrat’s year to win the Presidency. Polls show that 49% of people think the media is actively trying to hurt Palin with their reporting, and 65% of people believe the media’s reporting is bias. CNN reported tonight there will likely be push back against McCain’s dirty campaigning as there already is in the media. Well that’s objective. The media isn’t outraged at McCain’s tactics, they’re outraged that he’s winning. The only way to rectify that, paint McCain as the bad guy. McCain’s ads are not a ‘new low for politics’, and Senator Obama is not the saint the media portrays him as. In defense of the media it appears some truly do see Senator Obama as “a gift sent to us” as Chris Matthews stated, and unfortunately these myopic folks fill the ranks of NBC, CNN, NYT, and the Washington Post. They have abandoned any pretense of objectivity and are flat out campaigning for Obama.

The Media Spins Their Own Bias

Obama talks about Swifboating and Rovian tactics when things don’t go his way, a variation on the race or victim card.
The problem for him is that swiftboating and Rovian tactics require two players. One player is trying to hide something true about himself or his team, and his adversary wants to expose it at the most politically effective time. If he has nothing to hide, Obama and friends does not have to worry about Rove and swiftboating.
BTW Mrs. Obama is nowhere to be seen in this campaign, and this has nothing to do, of course, with the imaginary Whitey tape.
