How many reporters showed up yesterday for McCain in NH?

A: 1 local

How many are following Obama around like the kings jesters?

A: A hell of a lot more.

No there is no bias in the media.

Yes!!! The thousands of people working in the MSM came to a consensus and all made their minds up

What's next rev? Is the right going to start supporting the Fairness Doctrine?

Maybe the candidate interacting with world leaders is more newsworthy than the one meeting with people from New Hampshire. I've been seeing McCain's attacks on Obama's trip every night. Obama is making news. McCain is yelling at a cloud.

Because McCain making a blunder just isn't newsworthy anymore, but if Obama blunders, the MSM wants to be their to witness and record it. They aren't with Obama because they prefer him.

They did cover his trips. How do you think we know how ludicrous his claim was that the markets in Baghdad are as safe as American cities? We saw the battallion(yes, it's an exaggeration) he had escorting him.

If you are upset that the lead anchors are competing for ratings by travelling with him, it means that people are more interested in hearing this story. Perhaps it's not a liberal bias, but a market bias, which in turn shows an American bias. People want to see what the man has to say. He's an unknown compared to McCain.

I thought you were against the Fairness Doctrine? Conservatives overwhelm radio, liberals overwhelm TV/print. Are you wanting to create a market where there is none?

wait did I call for federal intervention or did I simply point out the schoolgirl fawning of the MSM for the next king?

You couldn't detect my sarcasm?
