Media's Presidential Bias and Decline

The traditional media are playing a very, very dangerous game -- with their readers, with the Constitution and with their own fates.

The media have covered this presidential campaign with a bias and that ultimately could lead to its downfall.

The sheer bias in the print and television coverage of this election campaign is not just bewildering, but appalling. And over the last few months I've found myself slowly moving from shaking my head at the obvious one-sided reporting, to actually shouting at the screen of my television and my laptop computer.

But worst of all, for the last couple weeks, I've begun -- for the first time in my adult life -- to be embarrassed to admit what I do for a living. A few days ago, when asked by a new acquaintance what I did for a living, I replied that I was "a writer," because I couldn't bring myself to admit to a stranger that I'm a journalist.

The media is in the tank for Obama. Try to find what Obama was doing during his college years and you'll search in vain. The media is silent on the question of whether he is actually a U.S. citizen or a Kenyan. This is a dangerous mindset. Obama rallies are disturbing. The congregations seem to be fanatical lemmings who expect Obama to lead the way to some Promised Land. Much of this fervor can be traced directly to the skewed coverage of this election by the media.
