To suggest that there is no media bias in favor of Obama not only robs Americans of the truth, it insults the intelligence of the American people. TALK IS CHEAP … CHECK OBAMA’S RECORD !!! A candidate’s track record, and associations are always a legitimate issue when running for President. Let’s take a look at the qualifications, judgement, and experience of Obama, who is running for President. Obama had 25 years to fulfill the potential he displayed as a rising start at Harvard Law School … and, how did he live up to that potential? … He chose to align himself with anti-American racist, Jeremiah Wright for TWENTY YEARS … along with Ferrahkan, Rezko, Ayers, and others. As a community organizer, he registered thousands of voters in Chicago … then, when he ran for the state legislature, he took away their votes, by disqualifying his opponent (a black woman) on a technicality. As a U.S. Senator, he voted present 160 times … he never called a meeting on the Afghanistan committee he chaired (although he NOW says we must shift all our military from Iraq to Afghanistan). He claimed Foreign Policy experience from a 9 day whirlwind photo op to 6 countries. And, he spent almost half of his tenure neglecting his responsibilities as a U.S. Senator, so he could run for President. Senator McCain served America honorably for 22 years in the military. He proved his love for America, as well as his honor, integrity and character, by refusing early release as a P.O.W., even while being tortured. He served America as a ‘contributing’ U.S. Senator, working across the aisle, for 20 years. If Obama’s Twentyfive year track record shows he lacks judgement, and can’t be trusted, who cares what he says about Health Care and the Economy! What Obama never learned is Character. He simply can’t be trusted … ask Jeremiah Wright, a friend of 20 years, who Obama betrayed for personal ambition … and, you Obama supporters really think he won’t betray you If he gets elected??? If he gets elected, you Obama supporters will be facing a HUGE disillusionment !!! MEDIA BIAS ROBS AMERICANS OF THE TRUTH

She had the most subtle display of anti-McCain, pro-Obama bias by not asking a single follow-up to Gov. McFolksy and remaining as mute as Helen Keller when that bespectacled oaf said to her face that she wouldn't answer her questions. Diabolical! Gwen Ifill’s a sneaky bastard.

Really? Deep down do you think so? Do you think there is a chance she is biased? The title is longer, but it includes "the age of Obama". Does that seem, oh I don't know, a little flattering? Is there anyone out there who feels like we moved from Aquarius to Obama? And people who look under their beds and see a media bias in favor of the GOP: Please. Again, be honest with yourself and ask yourself this question - who do you think Ifill will vote for? Couric? Gibson? Brokaw? Matthews? Lehrer? Other than Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, what person that reaches millions of TV viewers do you think will be voting for McCain? BP – I respect you mn, but you are grasping at some straws here

Did you read that somewhere or see her make a statement on the news? LC, while watching last week's debate, Jim Lehrer stated at the beginning that he chose all the questions and they were only known to him.
