Believing the press is trying to get The One elected president isn't going to make much difference imo.

I think that most people resent it when they feel that they are being manipulated by the press, or for that matter, by their government. To the extent that the press bias for Obama becomes an accepted fact, it becomes a useful campaign issue for McCain. The NYT handed a gift to McCain by rejecting his op-ed piece.

I find it amusing that there are a lot of Democrats on SI who feel that the MSM is in the tank for McCain. Wake up, please! Those Democrats that do recognize the disparity seem to be happy about it, as would I if the press were favoring McCain.

More importantly, what do the independents think?

As for unaffiliated voters, 50% see a pro-Obama bias and 21% see unbiased coverage. Just 12% of those not affiliated with either major party believe the reporters are trying to help McCain.
