Media Admits Pro-Obama Bias

Ann Lewis, a Hillary Clinton surrogate, has an opportunity on Capital Sunday to "Turn the Tables" on Mike Allen of Politico and ask him why the press doesn't hold Clinton and Obama to the same standards. Awkwardness ensues.

Crock O crap. 99% of media was in a conspiracy to promote him & to crush any opposition.Thats the ONLY way he has ever won anything.He had both other guys taken off ballot for technicalities when he ran for senate. Funny cuz he apparently did not want the job, he hardly showed up & took off the sec he had a chance. Even BO promoters have not been able 2 tell us ONE stinkin thing he accomplished in Senate. Why cant we see his college transcripts/grades/diplomas? I had to sho mine for a $45K job!

Well interesting.  His justification for why the press was light on Obama was because he was 'new'.

How's that working for Sarah?

gee, what hypocrisy.

so you didn't want bin laden caught or killed. ok, you're on al queda's side, not obama's. btw, obama proved he is osama's enemy. media proved they have a consplurgative wrongest possible wing bias. and you have drunk gallons of glenn beck's spiked koolaid.

@chiefdancingostriche made during the campaign trail. but when sarah palin said one wrong thing, the media went nuts and had an orgy. all this slanted media coverage, however, has not paid off. obama has shown his true colors; he is not change, at all. he's one of the good ole politicians from chicago. oh, and another thing. where is the coverage on the liberal media networks of this solyndra scandal? i've heard barely anything about it on the big liberal networks.... btw, glenn beck hated bush.

[StefanWSWatson]

@chiefdancingostriche so, you're saying that fox news represents mainstream media, but msnbc does not? isn't mainstream media all of the national networks, including fox and msnbc, along with cnn, abc, nbc and cbs? a reporter from nbc actually admitted that it was "hard to be objective" when covering obama. all of the liberal media promoted obama by covering stories that involved him more often than other candidates. he was made to look like a rockstar. they didn't even report the gaffes that...

[chiefdancingostriche]

@StefanWSWatson you are full of shit. the media babied bush like crazy. bill o reilly, sean hannity, ann coulter, lou dobbs, etc. did nothing but coddle bush. not to mention elizabeth hasslebeck. chris matthews dropped the ball many times in terms of defending obama. olbermann hardly represents themainstream media. i like him but still, it's not like most media types are like him. those same asses also bashed obama from the start, even mistaking him for osama bin laden,

[StefanWSWatson]

@chiefdancingostriche are you serious? the media was all over bush's ass. they hated him and it was obvious. just watch old clips from keith olbermann and chris matthews. the only way obama was elected was because of the media; again, just watch clips from keith olbermann and chris matthews. it's like obama was christ reincarnated.

[chiefdancingostriche]

the media is in NO way biased in favour of obama at all. it's the other way around. the media is clearly biased against obama in nearly every way. i think the media is racist against obama. they clearly hate him and bash him at every turn. obama is either not liberal enough or too extreme. he is never "just right". but when bush was president, the media acted like he could do no wrong.

I know Ann Lewis is Barney Frank's sister.

Is her maiden name Ann Frank?

This isn't a joke-- i really wonder.
