Rasmussen: Half of America believes media is trying to win election for Obama (UPDATE: MORE EVIDENCE?)

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on July 21, 2008 at 11:28 am

The stats speak for themselves.

So do the videos.

And the news reports.

And the media studies done on the subject.

Update – 1:16 PM: Check out this explosive headline and story from Drudge:

NYT REJECTS MCCAIN’S EDITORIAL; SHOULD ‘MIRROR’ OBAMA

      I’d say that’s prima facie evidence.

      Seems to be a repeat of the 2004 election. Back then I heard a member of the MSM yak on about how they were going to give Kerry a 15% edge of GW. – Lorica

      Well, we always knew the NYT liked telling people what their opinion should be, this is nothing new.

      Shouldn’t Dan be here to tell us that the media isn’t biased?

      Of course the media is trying to put this one in the bag for Obama. They did it in ‘04 and gave Kerry a 15 point advantage. Bush should have beaten Kerry by 20-30 points. The reason Bush’s ratings are as low as they are are because of a couple things: the left spreading as many idiotic lies as they can spew; the media parroting these lies; and Bush not responding to the lies in the way he should have.

      The media gave Kerry a 15-point advantage in 2004? Where does this stuff come from??!!
      =))

      Are the media rooting for Obama? Well let me put it this way–can anyone here remember three anchors chasing an official nominee, let alone a presumptive nominee, around the world?

      But giving a candidate a 15-point advantage? C’mon. They’d love to be able to do that, I suppose, but let’s keep it real, friends!

      Leslie, I think arcman’s referring to this comment by Newsweek’s Evan Thomas:

      “Let’s talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win. . . . They’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and there’s going to be this glow about them . . . that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points.”

      That said, your analysis is spot on. Only in the minds of the MSM elites is their support worth 15 points. Especially as the bias becomes more and more transparent with each passing election.

      Well, GWR, I’m willing to accept that the MSM gave Kerry 15 points. That would make Bush’s margin more like 18%.

      I only hope they are as effective this time around. The latest idiotic stunt by the NYT ought to be worth something.

    8. Leslie says:

      GWR,

      Thanks for the Evan Thomas quote.

      Steve,

      I don’t get the Times at all. It’s their opinion page, and they can of course do whatever they want there. But in order to avoid all the controversy and all the publicity, they should simply have run what McCain gave them.

      They are so . . . childlike.
