Re: Obama disconnects rhetoric, reality
The media loves Barack Obama - has since 2007. I base that off of a few different
1.) The Journolist scandal which had many in the media trying to trump up ways to support Obama
2.) The following report (which I'm sure you'll claim is very biased - but you'll need to refute the data in it) http://www.mrc.org/SpecialReports/2008/obama/ObamaMarginofVictory.pdf
3.) Michelle Obama:

And there's more... but I think that's probably enough.
In fact there is... I will explain it first since I expect you will dismiss the links I will provide later. And yes I base that opinion on my past history of posts with you.There must be some basis for your opinion, at least that is what you said to me, so what is the basis for your opinion?

CNN said:CNN reporter: "How's the family ready for this [the election]? It's going to be quite vicious, isn't it? How do you prepare for that?"
First Lady Michelle Obama: "You know, it's … we're ready, you know. Our children, you know, could care less about what we're doing. We work hard to do that. Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I'm very grateful for the support and kindness that we've gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband's policies or what have you, they care about children and that's been good to see."

Can be be more precise? Who is the "corporate media"?Since the Republican Party favor corporations far more than the Democratic Party does, why would the corporate media give more deference to the Democrats
See above question... I don't know what you're referencing.Many of the Democrats would like to see spending limits on political campaigns, but if that were to come to pass the reduction in political ad revenue would hurt the corporate media. Right?
