This is a good example of how the media pandered to Obama during the campaign. Listen to the rhetoric used: "McCain goes negative," "Obama takes the high road," "How long can he take the high road with McCain increasingly on the attack?"

These are not quotes from people they're interviewing, this is how this news agency is choosing to word their report. It's a blatant example of taking sides. And people make fun of Fox News when shows like Hannity and O'Brien are clearly opinion.
