Think the media loves Obama?

Well, think again. Here is a link to an LA TIMES story talking about it...

To me, it seems pretty obvious that the corporate press is doing everything they can to undermine the Obama campaign, while covering up John McCain's blatant gaffes. For example, a few days ago CBS News was interviewing Obama, and Katie Couric actually said "people are scratching their heads about your opposition to the surge." What people? Well, you know, the same "People" that Fox News always sites in their segments. The ones that don't actually exist, but are so convenient when a news anchor wants to insinuate that large groups of people think Obama (or any liberal for that matter) is crazy. She then goes on to grill him about his policy, and after he answered the question 3 times (by the way, every time he answered he said that yes, the additional troops did help the situation), she finally moved on, but acted as if Obama had dodged the question. Okay, fine. Its a crappy way of questioning someone, and a lame tactic for someone as high up on the media food chain as Couric to pull, but whatever. the guy is running for President, so if he gets grilled a bit, then that's just part of the job. However, when McCain was interviewed by Couric the same week, he demonstrated a total lack of understanding about the history of the surge, mixing up pretty crucial dates and events while making his case that it was a success. What did CBS news do? Did they grill him repeatedly as they did Obama? No way. They actually EDITED THE INTERVIEW TO MAKE IT LOOK |LIKE MCCAIN KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
