Media Bias

Well, isn't that dandy the some of the media punditry admits there was bias in favor of Obama, who received virtually NO scrutiny at all from a media either intimidated over the possibility of being labeled "racist," or they wanted to be a part of "history."

But Obama deserved tougher scrutiny than he got, especially of his undergraduate years, his start in Chicago and his relationship with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who was convicted this year of influence-peddling in Chicago. The Post did nothing on Obama's acknowledged drug use as a teenager.

...

One gaping hole in coverage involved Joe Biden, Obama's running mate. When Gov. Sarah Palin was nominated for vice president, reporters were booking the next flight to Alaska. Some readers thought The Post went over Palin with a fine-tooth comb and neglected Biden. They are right; it was a serious omission. However, I do not agree with those readers who thought The Post did only hatchet jobs on her. There were several good stories on her, the best on page 1 by Sally Jenkins on how Palin grew up in Alaska.

One could argue Biden had been vetted years before when he ran for president, but still the coverage was outrageously lopsided.
