So does this mean Dubya is really up 15 pts?

No, it means that all things being equal (i.e., the press doesn't play favorites between the candidates) Bush would be 15 points ahead of Querry. As it is, the press is providing the Kerry campaign with free and favorable campaign advertisement. Why do you think Querry never shows his face? When he does his poll numbers sink, so he hides and let's the press paint a pretty picture of him.

I think it means he would be were it not for the partisan press.

'"Let’s talk a little media bias here," Newsweek's assistant managing editor Evan Thomas told PBS's "Inside Washington" . . ."The media, I think, wants Kerry to win. . . . that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points.”'

I think it means Bush WOULD be up 15 points, if the media wouldn't pound on him 24/7 spreading disinformation and lies against him, promoting Kerry.

But unfortunately the media have major influence in how people think, and will ultimately vote, since that is where most people get their "information" or what they think is information.
