And you won't hear that frm any reputable reporter where impartiality is key. Reporters report news, not make it

I would bet you have yet to hear a whole lot of things which could potentially fill a large library if written down. Sadly for you, that is irrelevant. What you have not heard is not any positive verifiable evidence to support the validity of the premise behind your poll about the current election.

SImple poll. In the last several elections, polling of those members of the main stream media who covered the presidential election voted for Al Gore at over an 80% rate. It was about the same I believe for Kerry and a bit higher for Obama. So what causes this favoritism

Intelligence...hahahhaha

I don't know, I remember a lot of polls people had been posting that always pulled for Bush and what have you. So I don't think there really is as much as an effect as you think there is. I think you are more likely to correlate in your head instances of democrats being favored than you are to do so with Republicans being favored.

Now if you had some actual numbers and research to back your claims (and a few polls don't cut it, cross election, broad data sets for statistical analysis are necessary), we could see if what you claim actually exists or if it's just a figment of your imagination.
