Many Say Coverage is Biased in Favor of Obama

Over the course of the primary campaign season greater numbers heard about controversies associated with Barack Obama than heard about other campaign events. Nonetheless, far more Americans believe that the press coverage has favored Barack Obama than think it has favored Hillary Clinton.

Nearly four-in-ten (37%) say that in covering the Democratic race, news organizations have been biased toward Obama while just 8% say they have been biased toward Clinton; 40% say news organizations have shown no bias in their coverage. Substantial minorities of Republicans (45%) and independents (40%) say the press has been biased toward Obama; somewhat fewer Democrats (35%) see a pro-Obama bias.

This just in....water is wet. I just hope the federal government didn’t spend too many millions of our tax dollars on this sort of study.

There’s no media bias towards Obombo [cough] I mean Obama, and anyone who says otherwise is a racist, bitter, backward, gun toting, church going, typical white person.

If the media will slam the Clintons, you KNOW they are in the tank for Obama.

it’s been a hoot to watch Toon complain about BO’s favorable coverage, as if that weren’t tacit admission there was similarly favorable coverage for him.
