Them's just bitter apples. I could say the same thing about Bush in 2004. There was a feeling of overwhelming fear and Bush road in on the historical faith that the GOP is stronger on military than Dems. So do we say that the media was in Bush's corner back then? I don't buy it. There's always left and right propaganda out there and the American people regularly sift through the tripe to get to the facts they want to believe in.

Does the media manipulate? Absolutely. Both on the left and the right. Hell, the CEO of Fox New, ROger Ailes, recently declared war on Obama.

And I've seen similar incendiary media bias in prominent liberal news outlets. So we know the media is biased, but it's not always for Obama. People watch what they want to believe. That's why I make a point of watching and reading both rightie and leftie news media. Keeps me more knowledgeable and unbiased than the average American.
