>>Lou Dobbs on media bias. A video.<<

BP -

Unsurprisingly, I find I disagree with him mostly. I do agree that media coverage of the presidential campaign has been petty, salacious, and of poor quality overall.

But the idea that to ask what Sarah Palin has done to qualify to be VP is itself biased and prejudicial is ridiculous.

Dobbs starts out saying, "What has Barack Obama done? What has Joe Biden done? What has John McCain done?" as if those questions have not been asked about each of those candidates. It's a perfectly valid question to direct at any candidate.

Meanwhile, the McCain campaign has been using outright lies, and distortions so severe in its ads that it has set a new low for the modern era.
