In addition to the recent analysis which shows that Obama has enjoyed over twice the news coverage as McCain, cable stations and websites like CNN are producing television specials like "Black In America", which I'm sure will air over and over ad nauseam, as a disguised P.R. promotion for Obama. CNN also shows extreme bias with the way they moderate their blogs in favor of Obama supporters, which is tantamount to censorship. And, now the three network anchors will be traveling with Obama overseas. It doesn't get more blatant than that !!! I have been noticing EXTREME MEDIA BIAS in favor of Obama.

Our country's problems are serious, and it's getting rather disgusting watching Obama the Opportunist, use America to further his personal ambition and aggrandizement. Also, the three network anchors, and the rest of the media, who are tripping over each other to accompany Obama overseas should be ashamed of themselves.

He isn't the first African American candidate to run for an important position. They certainly didn't treat Michael Steele like this. The bottom line is that for many different reasons the media is treating him like a rock star rather than a candidate. Rather than doing their jobs they are cheer leading. There is no excusing this behavior and this is only the latest in a long line of things the media has done that has been a gross violation of professional standards. A couple weeks back I hypothesized that the media might be breaking up with Obama so to speak, however this latest endeavor clearly puts a new light on that hypothesis. I wrote a while back that some supporters of Obama are like a cult. They believe anything he says with no critical thinking. It is one thing for commoners to do this and something totally different for the media to act as such. This is so blatantly biased it is unbelievable. They send a small contingent with McCain and send their top folks with Obama. how does that work?
