You should have seen Joe Scarborough this morning on his show. He had this guy on that brought statistics about what the media says about Obama and McCain.

Obama - 72% unfavorable and 28% favorable
McCain - 47% unfavorable and 53% favorable.

Joe has such a hissy fit, he was sitting and shouting a la O'Reilly that it's a lie. Joe said the media constantly bashes McCain but not Obama.

However, if you really listen,

The media goes on and on about "The public knows McCain, but they don't know Obama".

Then there are the unrelenting attacks on Obama's family, his wife, his pastor and everyone he has ever looked at twice.

When has the press mentioned McCain's wife's drug addiction past or her being able to go to rehab instead of prison.

Then there is McCain himself. His five planes he destroyed. Ok, two he blew up on the Aircraft carrier, so they weren't technically crashed. Or that he graduated 5th from the bottom from the Navel Academy (puts him in the top 99.45%) out of 899 Cadets. Or that he voted against increasing GI benefits to equal WWII benefits in 2004,5,6,7,and this year. Never a mention about McCain lobbying the Air Force to send 40,000 hi tech jobs to France on behalf of EADS.
The press barely hit on McCain's constant gaffes at Town Halls.

McCain has been protected by the press. Look at this latest one with McCain blaming Obama for high gas prices and not visiting wounded troops.

The press said nary a word when McCain walked around an Iraqi Market surrounded by 150 US soldiers and 5 Black-Hawks overhead, using them as human shields for a screwy photo op. Not a word. And then McCain said, "See, it's perfectly safe". I talked to the father of one of those soldiers and he was pissed.

Obama is going to need every cent he has to defeat McCain.
