WASHINGTONTIMES.COM reports:
Media bias has gone from bad to ridiculous. During Mitt Romney's overseas visit earlier this week, 86 percent of the coverage on ABC, CBS and NBC "emphasized Romney's perceived gaffes," according to a content analysis of 21 major news stories by the Media Research Center, which also compared Mr. Romney's trip to a similar excursion made by President Obama in 2008.

The left-wing media bias is obvious. It's a miracle any Republican is ever elected.

These guys are already desperate. The very fact that they are spending so much energy trying to smear Mitt Romney, who will be the next American President, shows that they are in desperation.

You are so correct, my friend. I anticipate that folks like the misguided Thomas will begin to erupt in more infantile behavior and in their crazed furor, they will continue to slander and malign a good man and his wife. I'm a very loyal person and will fight for someone whom I believe is being unfairly criticized. I'm sure Mr. Romney isn't perfict, but he's far superior in character and honor than Obama is on his best day. I've known men like Mr. Romney and I'd rather be in their army than in an army led by someone who you aren't 100% sure is even qualified to command the army. Go Romney!!!

There was one perfect man and he died 2000 years ago. Romney has so much going for him and best thing is that HE LOVES AMERICA AND WANTS TO SEE IT BACK TO BEING THE BEST NATION POSSIBLE. He also wants to Americans back to work and having a good life again not living with their hands out relying on the government for some sustenance to eak out a bare existence. He wants us to be proud of ourselves and have dignity. His own background personifies a very decent man who tries very hard to be the best he can. Maybe not perfect but then again who is. As you said "Go Romney"!!

I see we have more in common that politics. I love horses and have 9 with 2 on the way. This economy makes it almost impossible to take care of them the way I would rather. Still, they're a source of joy most of the time...

In the late 50's Nikita Kruschev said "we will destroy you from within". This is exacly what he was talking about. (For you young people, Kruschev was the Russian premier at that time and we were fighting Communism.)

Hell yes, they are! The coverage for Romney always consists of hearing about his tax returns, or his offshore accounts, or his Swiss account, or his religion, or his time at Bain Capitol, or whether or not he made the right comments concerning the Olympics, or how much money Ann spent for a shirt... Good Lord, the lamestream media needs to give it a rest, already!
How about commenting on the fact that he has more business experience than Obama could ever DREAM of, and actually KNOWS what it takes to create jobs!
Or, that, as a former Governor, he already KNOWS how to run a government, something Obama NEVER did before running for President.
Or, that Romney wants to get people into PRIVATE SECTOR jobs, not "government tit" jobs, so we can ACTUALLY stimulate the economy!
Or, that Romney believes that every American has the right to make their own choices regarding their health. Yes, I'm talking about ObamaCare (Oops! I meant ObamaTAX), and Michelle's obesity craze!
Or, that Romney knows that failed policies never work the SECOND time around (Yes, I'm referring to Obama's NEXT proposed $1.8 TRILLION stimulus package!).

Please, people, come November, stop thinking about some liberal "community organizer's" agenda, and think about your children's future. Give Obama an eviction notice...

The media not only favors Obama they carry his water. The media is willing to publish and broadcast unsubstantiated hearsay against conservatives if they feel it will help their failed leader Obama.

This is talking about overseas! If you have been really paying attention to the people behind these negative attacks on Mitt Romney. They are Ron Paul supporter. Even though they cannot vote for him. 80% of Europe is rooting for Paul.

You need to wake up to reality. It is obvious to anyone with more than 3 brain cells that the media is biased for Obama.

No president was ever elected with under 50% approval. His approval is currently at 47% and expect it to drop further as the gaffe master continues campaigning.

By the way, want to debate the Marxist in Chief's "accomplishments"?

If Obama wins and his Marxist Agenda is fully implemented, the 'free press' (LOL) will be one of the first to be taken over. I will never understand the media's blindness to that fact.
