Voters overwhelmingly believe that the media wants Barack Obama to win the presidential election. By a margin of 70%-9%, Americans say most journalists want to see Obama, not John McCain, win on Nov. 4. Another 8% say journalists don't favor either candidate, and 13% say they don't know which candidate most reporters support.
In recent presidential campaigns, voters repeatedly have said they thought journalists favored the Democratic candidate over the Republican. But this year's margin is particularly wide. At this stage of the 2004 campaign, 50% of voters said most journalists wanted to see John Kerry win the election, while 22% said most journalists favored George Bush.

I don't think that the media as it is currently constituted will last much longer.

ELECTION REJECTION: NETWORK NEWS SLUMPS; VIEWERSHIP FADES
Wed Oct 22 2008 07:25:40 ET
The Obama-McCain match-up is proving to be a lackluster election ticket for the Big 3 network news programs, according to NIELSEN MEDIA RESEARCH.
As the shouting from the trail and the frantic spinning from the anchor desks intensify, the audience is voting with their remotes.
All 3 evening news shows experienced audience drops year-to-year for the week of Oct. 13-19, 2008.
CBSNEWS w/ Couric shed a half a million viewers, falling from 6.4 million to 5.9 million; ABCNEWS dropped from 8.1 million to 7.6 million; NBCNEWS slumped from 8.2 million to 7.8 million.

Who is the idiot 9% that thinks the rodent media doesnt want the False Messiah coronated ? The media voted in the poll too.
To: cmsgop
They ARE the Nazis. We’ve known it all along in this campaign and ever since Gore. The indoctrination from the NEA has taken root. To say we could survive Obama until 2012 falsly ignores the power of public education. That is blatantly ridiculous. JMHO

The dying media will be be saved by becoming part of the government if Obama is elected.

The KGBDBMSM inflate the numbers effect.
Actually ? the main stream media are the one's who should be called the racist.... think about it for a minute here...
What is the media basically saying when they inflate the numbers for Obama and to project a image that he is winning ?
They are basically saying that a black man can not win without their lying and dirty tactics.
They ( the KGBDBMSM ) is saying that a black man can not win in a honest fair election campaign.
