Here in the Twin Cities, Local TV Personality DFL Don Shelby had a piece on last night dealing with the Overwhelming coverage of Obama vs. McCain. Essentially WCCO was saying that If the GOP didn't like it, they could institute the Fairness Doctrine and get equal time on TV. And further, Obama was a much better news story than McCain because obama represents change and new vision while McCain is little more than the status quo. Thus the news mongers were required to cover Obama.

So IMO, they are going to let the bias train run out of control, Then use the public sentiment against such coverage to push the Fairness Doctrine...Like it will be the savior of the Conservative viewpoint.

Devious Eh?

The big difference between the liberal news media and the conservative talkers is that the MSM claims that they are fair and unpartial news reporters. If the big three nightly newscasts would just drop the facade and admit to the public that they are the liberal media then I would be okay with what they do. Instead, they cheer Obama on while claiming to be impartial.
