Half of Americans think the press is trying to help Sen. Barack Obama win the presidential election, according to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports.
In an automated survey of 1000 likely voters, Rasmussen found that 49 percent of respondents believed reporters would favor Obama in their coverage this fall, compared with just 14 percent who expected them to boost Sen. John McCain. The number of Americans who see pro-Obama bias in the press has increased by five percent in the last month.
According to Rasmussen’s numbers, less than a quarter of voters – 24 percent – now trust the press to report on the election without bias.
“People are looking at reporters the way reporters want us to look at Wikipedia,” said Rasmussen Reports CEO Scott Rasmussen. “It’s useful information, but you’ve got to check the source.”
Rasmussen suggested that glowing coverage of the run-up to Obama’s trip abroad may have contributed to the perception that reporters sympathize with his campaign. [snip]

Jeez... Yah think?
Doesn’t that mean that half do not?
For any of you who might be a part of that 14%, I have, pictured above, a very lovely bridge which connects Brooklyn to Manhattan, which I inherited from a Nigerian relative and for which I have no particular use. I can let you have it for the low, low price of two million dollars.
The half that aren’t liars.
Duh!
Half of America is wrong.
“Half of Americans think the press is trying to help Sen. Barack Obama win the presidential election, according to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports.”
Can you say ‘railroad’?
The most surprising stat in the poll is that even among Democrats, most respondents perceive a pro-Obama bias (27%) than pro-McCain bias (21%).
A well informaed public is too important to be left to the Liberal Media. If the Congress passes a fairness doctrine for talk radio, then there should equally be a fairness doctrine for TV and for newspapers to ensure conservatives are treated fairly.
The sheer stupidity of some of those entrusted with the right to vote is breathtaking.

Only half?.....What a joke! The other half are idiots!
It’s time for the MSM to come out of the closet and just admit that it’s now just the PR arm of the DNC. There is no longer any effort to conceal it in this election.
I was looking at a pic of O’Bama meeting the PM of Afghanistan.
He had his legs crossed.
Isn’t it an insult to show the soles of your feet to a muslim??
Senator BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York .
HE spoke for almost an hour on HIS future plans for increasing every Native American’s present standard of living, should HE one day become the President.
HE referred to his career as a Senator, how he had signed ‘YES’ for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval.
Although the Senator was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic
about his future ideas for helping his ‘red sisters and brothers’.
At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the Senator with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle.
The proud Senator then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they came to select the new name had given to the Senator.
They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of crap it can no longer fly.
I guess if he really were a Muslim, he would be aware of this.
No.
Indeed!
What about the other 50%? Are they completely blinded by their Gummint school educations?
