During July and August, the media carried McCain's water, running his ads for free 24/7.
Secondly, the media let McCain get away with lots of gaffes: confusing Sunni with Shia, Somolia with Sudan, Czech Republic with Czechoslovakia, Pakistan with Iraq, etc. If Obama had made even ONE of those mistakes, the media would've torn him to shreds, yet they let McCain get away with it.
Lastly, Obama got better press because he ran a more positive campaign. McCain was almost 100% negative.
Win did the media ever question the the lead up to the war? then after the war began, it took them six years until they finally became a little bit critical. in the days before the invasion they just rolled back and regurgitated what ever they were told for white house press conferences.
I'm not the worlds biggest obama fan, but I remember hearing shiploads of flack towards him in the final days of the campaign.

I remember people being critical of the Bush administration way before. I'm not a big fan of Bush, but I know the media was critical of him.
