Can the media bias get any more blatant than this?!?
Okay, while cruising through my daily reads, I came across this :
“Poll Finds Obama Gaining Support and McCain Weakened in Bailout Crisis,” by Adam Nagourney and Megan Thee: “Senator Barack Obama is showing signs of gaining significant support among voters with less than five weeks left until Election Day, while Senator John McCain’s image has been damaged by his response to the financial crisis. A CBS News poll released Wednesday found that Mr. Obama’s favorability rating, at 48 percent, is the highest it has ever been in polls conducted by CBS and The New York Times. At the same time, the number of voters who hold an unfavorable view of Mr. McCain — 42 percent — is as high as it has been since CBS News and The Times began asking the question about Mr. McCain in 1999, the first time he ran for president.
Emphasis above is mine. When you look at that, if you really don’t pay attention to the actual wording, it would appear that Obama’s favorability is 48 and McCain is at 42 making it look like people favor Obama over McCain. Read it again!!! Change the wording and look at the inverse number for McCain. His FAVORABILITY is 58% over Obama’s 48%. Seriously, folks! Can it get more clear as that?
What about the undecideds? Can people only approve or disapprove of candidates? The fact remains that Obama is making some leads in key battleground states. The American people are starting to realize that McBush isn’t fit to deal with this economy and Sarah Palincomparison is dumber than Katie Couric.
Some other numbers for you:
Rasmussen: M 45 O 51
Diego/Hotline: M 41 O 47
Gallup: M43 O 49
Research 2000: M 41 O 51
ABC/WaPo: M 46 O 50
Sorry, but even Fox News has your boy tanking. By your logic, is Fox News probama?
Surely there’s never any “blatant bias” on talk radio or Fox News (not to mention the majority of major newspapers, which almost always take the side of the right-wing)…
Bias is EVERYWHERE. FACT.
Also, I don’t trust Palin’s lack of knowledge. I wish Huckabee was VP. OBama ‘08? I think so.

See - I expected those kinds of responses. The blind leading the blind.
Wow! Did THE Barack Hussein Obama REALLY call me a dummy? I am just absolutely honored that you would take the time away from your oh so very busy schedule to drop by my little conservative blog just to call me names! You are so awesome! LOL!
You guys are trying to mix fact with fiction. ThreeDegrees - stop watching those daily and weekly polls - they change every minute. Besides - it’s not the poll data itself I’m concerned with…its how the MSM reports it to slant to Obama ALL THE FREAKIN TIME even when it suggests otherwise
Lot2Learn - Palin knocked it out of the park! She had Biden stammering and stuttering like the old man he is. She nailed him quite a few times there using his own words against him! She was spot on.
