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 Rasmussens 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. Its useful information, but youve got to check the source.
Rasmussen suggested that glowing coverage of the run-up to Obamas trip abroad may have contributed to the perception that reporters sympathize with his campaign. [snip]

OK
Try going where I work. The walls and doors are covered with pro-Obama articles.
yes...but I expect 75% to find biased coverage for hussien obama by october....
Yeah...That’ll happen...(RollEyes)
This is good stuff. It shows people are NOT falling for the droppings from the ratmedia. 24% don’t believe the ratmedia - nice!
You always were a quick study Stuart.
Change the title of the network news to “Jumped the Shark.”
Perfect! You nailed the 14%. Looks like the Dems don't even believe the media will favor McCain. Thought the MSM were biased in 2000 and 2004 but this year they have gone to a new low with their fawning over Obama no matter what he has to say.
I am beginning to see Democrats for McCain bumperstrips turn up in Norman, OK, for which I will gladly say finally. There are some Obama bumperstrips but not all that many although I am now seeing his yard signs as well.
Thanx, I try.
