Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. That's why his laps dogs went after Joe-the-Plumber. A private citizen that asked Obama a question, and let Obama hang himself.I recall numerous instances where prominent news organizations covered gaffes made by either the President or Vice President Obama. To say that either or those two figures get a pass from the media is blatantly false. What I don't recall is either Obama or Biden pointing fingers toward Bush for his gaffes, and acting out like children on a social network because the big bad media pointed out their slips.
Now, I believe we can extrapolate a similar result for Palin. Had Obi made the gaffe, the press would never have blown it into some character defining statement.Study: Coverage of McCain Much More Negative Than That of Obama
By Howard Kurtz
Media coverage of John McCain has been heavily unfavorable since the political conventions, more than three times as negative as the portrayal of Barack Obama, a new study says.

And to think... Obama had the baggage of Wright, Ayers, Johnston, Khalidi, Bitter Clingers, 57-states... to list a few major character issues and a few of his many gaffes. Yet McCain had 300% more negative stories???????????????????????????????
Fair and balanced? ROTFLOL...
And how many gaffes did Gaffe-O-Matic Senior make? Hey! Stand up Chuck!..Sarah Palin's coverage ricocheted from quite positive to very negative to more mixed, the study says. Overall, 39 percent of the Palin stories were negative, 28 percent were positive and 33 percent neutral. Only 5 percent of the coverage was about her personal life. But McCain's running mate remains a media magnet, drawing three times as much coverage as the Democrats' VP nominee, Joe Biden. He was "nearly the invisible man," the group says, and his coverage was far more negative than Palin's. That may be because Biden tends to make news primarily when he commits gaffes.
The press went ballistic on this one, and she is to blame? Hell, they ran the clip in Europe!!! No... she did the right thing. Pointed out the journOlists at work and the clear double standard they practice.Her quick-step move to play victim (accompanied by her ilk that is so willing to aid the maneuver) cause much more attention than normal... as her own antics are to blame.
ROTFLOL... Objective opinion I see.Acting as if left-leaning media heads have some sort of vendetta toward a quitter governor who can't hold her own in interviews is a chosen position... a stupid one at that. She's gold for ratings, and that is her own fault.
