Media Are Cheering For Obama (Captain Obvious Alert)
National Review ^ | 9/04/2008 | Jack Fowler

Sorry sight last night, post-Palin speech, seeing the Fourth Estaters pooh-pooh Republican charges that the media are pro-Obama. But perception is reality in politics, and according to a new SurveyUSA poll, this limited to Washington State registered voters, folks believe the press is pressing for the Democrat candidate.

When asked "Is the media rooting for Barack Obama? Rooting for John McCain? Or trying its best to be fair to both?" 52% said "for Obama," 8% said "for McCain," 35% said "being fair to both." Interesting: 28% of Democrats, 28% of liberals, and 42% of moderates chose "for Obama."

It would seem that any Republican campaign strategy to hit on media bias for Obama could / would resonate with the electorate because the majority of voters indeed believe such, at least according to this poll.

This is so Captain Obvious. The MSM/Drivebys are in the tank for Obama. A majority of registered voters agree.

After the landslide, we should all buy some very pretty thank you cards and semd them out to various media types thanking them for supporting B. Hussien Obama, the only candidate that could:

Beat Hillary in the primary, and

Lose in a big stinking landslide to McCain/Palin
