“Media coverage of John McCain has been heavily unfavorable since the political conventions, more than three times as negative as the portrayal of Barack Obama, a new study says.
Fifty-seven percent of the print and broadcast stories about the Republican nominee were decidedly negative, the Project for Excellence in Journalism says in a report out today, while 14 percent were positive. The McCain campaign has repeatedly complained that the mainstream media are biased toward the senator from Illinois.
Obama’s coverage was more balanced during the six-week period from Sept. 8 through last Thursday, with 36 percent of the stories clearly positive, 35 percent neutral or mixed and 29 percent negative. “

    Obam's nomination has made our country a complete mess and an embarrassment for the world to view.

    Obama and his team of supporters have reared the ugly head of sexism and racism, criticized our country to the world and have been a complete embarrassed with voter fraud and the entire voting process.

    Many in my community have never seen such bias in reporting, if you want to call it that. It is an embarrassing time to be an American.

    The media should be emphasizing the importance of supporting a man with good character, not defend a man that has associations and support from the far left, anti American radical leaders and the like:
    Farrakhan, Rezko, Nation of Islam, Rev. Wright, William Ayers, Father Plaeger, United Trinity Church of Christ,

    Shame on the media, shame on the Democrats and all Americans that support Obama's unfair tactics.

    I'm from Canada. Couldn't agree with you more. Obama made the primaries into a circus with all his denials and lies to cover up his controversial background ie., Rev Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, …he used the race card even against Bill Clinton in the North Carolina primary..imagine that..Bill Clinton did more for the African-American cause than any other President and he accuses President Clinton of being racist…come on.
    Obama made the general election into a big circus too. Barack Obama too don't forget, did not attend the memorial marking the death of Martin Luther King but Hillary Clinton and John McCain did. Obama said he was too busy. What kind of person does that?
    Second,he pledged to McCain and to the American voting public that he would accept public finance for the general campaign but he didn't. He went back on his word…he lied.
    Barack Hussein Obama has demonstrated time and time again that he cannot be trusted. He's been caught in his lies. Neither Bill Ayers and Barack Obama will discuss what their relationship really was. They are hiding the truth that is damaging.
    Barack Hussein Obama can't even prove definitively his US citizenship. The guy is a Muslim.
    Obama can't produce records that he was ever baptized in a Christian church anywhere. The only claim Obama makes that he is a Christian is that he , quote, ” saw Jesus Christ for the first time ” about 20 years ago when he started attending Trintiy United church run by Reverend Wright.
    This man , Barack Hussein Obama is an “empty suit” and a huge fraud and the American voting public is being sucked in.
