The McCain Palin 2008 blog is sponsoring a petition protesting media bias with the support of groups/sites across the political spectrum. While many have witnessed a decisive pro-Obama slant in this news reporting during this election, this bias became glaringly apparent when Governor Palin was selected as the vice-presidential nominee. Whether it is an organization like the New York Times having to retract stories about Governor Palin because they printed rumor and not fact; networks investigating the children of the Governor; or network pundits questioning the Governor’s ‘mothering’ skills, this over-the-top behavior and blatant bias is unacceptable. With over 1200 people having already signed we urge all readers to speak out against an irresponsible media by signing the following petition.

OK, for the umteenth time, who can tell me where the major media has been sexist. Please don’t list some unknown pundit because we all know(or should) that when pundits get on they are going to push their side’s agenda and they all say stupid things. All the major news have people on both sides of the political spectrum. This website, while obviously pushing for McCain(that’s ok, kmorrison33 is upfront about it.) it keeps putting forth claims but we are not seeing any proof of these claims. Do we want debate or is this site only interested in McCain winning and the truth be damned?

Especially when the media is not even allowed to speak to Sarah Palin freely.

Anyone with a brain can plainly see/hear the media bais. The media has gone on and on about Palin and whether she was qualified, yet they never question whether Obama. The media has examined Alaska with a microscope and yet they turn a blind eye to Ayres backing of Obama and what that signifies, in fact some outlets are trying to portray Ayres as an upstanding citizen, you know like the picture of Ayres standing on the American Flag for a magazine in 2002 and saying he doesn’t regret his bombings.
Why doesn’t the media ask how american voters can align themselves with Ayres (anti-american) because Ayres clearly sees Obama doing to this country by running it, what he tried to do by bombing our capital. Where’s the outrage! Why doesn’t anybody ask the real questions.
As for media outlets, I’ve tuned them out and turned them off! I research congressional votes online and make up my own mind on FACTS, not medias propoganda!!!

Just like this troopergate! It’s getting blown up all out of proportion and Palin did nothing wrong!!! But the media is putting thier spin on it contrary to the FACTS! Again, people need to do their own research and forget pandering to the propoganda machine.
Where is the media when pictures of Ayres standing on an American Flag from 2002 have surfaced??? What does Ayres see in Obama that he’s hiding from the American voters??? Now thats a story!!!
