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.

It's money to spend, not my tax Dollars, like Michelle Obama."British tabloids, The Sun, The Telegraph and The Daily Mail are reporting that First Lady Michelle Obama indulged in a $50,000 spending spree at luxury lingerie boutique Agent Provocateur late last year. The reports say she closed off part of Madison Avenue so that Sheikaha Mozah, the Queen of Qatar, and her could spend time shopping for luxury lingerie during a trip to New York City.

Is the FLOTUS working on a secret stimulus plan of her own? Slip under the velvet orange squiggle to flesh out the risqué details." http://www.dailykos.com/story...

That's why he just pulled ahead of Romney by 10 points in the latest Pew Research Center Poll. That's why Obama's 11 points ahead of Romney in my state of Pennsylvania. You Cons just don't get , Romney is a loser.

"Recently, though, Pew decided to turn the spotlight on the reliability of its own research. What it found was alarming: Fewer than one in 10 Americans contacted for a typical Pew survey bothers to respond. That’s down from a response rate of 36 percent just 15 years ago." http://www.slate.com/articles...

Bias has been obvious for many many years. Now it's so bad I think it will put Barry back in office. I don't think the average person could tell you what Fast and ferrous is, who Bill Ayrs is and what he did. They may have heard of Pastor Wright but have no idea he preaches white hatred and that Barry sat under that teaching for years.

When Barry tells a half truth he is never called out on it. He can spout off his rhetoric about taxing the rich and the Buffet rule and the truth is never brought to light. I find the media to be intelectually dishonest and I don't see it changing any time soon.

The liberal media is quite clever. They endorse Republican candidates on their editorial pages, but support Obama in their news coverage? What? That doesn't make sense. I think the people opinionating on this sodahead are a bunch of stoned commies pretending to be conservative. The stuff you guys say sounds so crazy, I know you're all stoned.

Isn't this a "ah duh" question? "Over 40-plus years, the only thing that's changed in the media's politics is that many national journalists have now cleverly decided to call themselves moderates. But their actual views haven't changed, the Pew survey showed. Their political beliefs are close to those of self-identified liberals and nowhere near those of conservatives. And the proportion of liberals to conservatives in the press, either 3-to-1 or 4-to-1, has stayed the same. That liberals are dominant is now beyond dispute." http://www.weeklystandard.com...

Cronyism, corruption, screw ups, bungling, illegal voting practices, Marxist takeover,
dumb ass appointments, incompetence..... these things make for exciting news coverage.
Competence, honesty, honest ethical behavior... BORING!!! Also look at who owns media outlets and how they vote as a demographic....then you will understand.

There's a difference between saying fifty instead of forty and saying that Israel is more culturally evolved than Palestine.

This what Romney said, please tell where's wrong? "The dramatically stark difference in per capita domestic gross product figures between Israel and the Palestinian territories, and that is also between other countries that are near or next to each other. Chile and Ecuador, Mexico and the United States.”

Israel is more culturally evolved than the Palestinian-controlled territories. There was no gaffe by Romney, except to the extent telling the truth is considered a gaffe.

What the heck does Ronald Reagan have to do with Obama unless you are taking about polar opposites? Stay on point if you have a good one you don't need to distract from the facts. Doing the same thing Obama does changing the subject.

That proves it. Why don't you defend your hero instead of trying to draw attention away from his stupidity by denigrating someone else. You know why...it's because you can't defend him.
