Pilgrim posted some information about this, including a video, on the SAB Front Page, but I wanted to add a picture and some data for your consideration.

Media in love with Obama?
Recent polls, McCain agree: Press is twitterpated

A new poll demonstrates Americans believe by a more than three-to-one ratio that the news media is trying to help Sen. Barack Obama win the presidential election this fall, a perception that John McCain has now taken advantage of in a humorous new feature on his website.

49 percent of voters believe most reporters are trying to help Obama with their coverage.

A full 50 percent of Americans polled believe the media is making economic conditions seem worse than they really are

41 percent believe reporters are trying to make news of the Iraq war seem unfairly negative.

Only 25 percent think most reporters present fair coverage of the economy, with the same percentage believing the American people are getting an unbiased picture of Iraq.

Independents, it seems, tend to agree more with the Republicans. Half of the unaffiliated respondents (50 percent) believe reporters are helping Obama, 21 percent perceive unbiased coverage, and a mere 12 percent see a pro-McCain slant.

Of those polled, 59 percent of Republicans affirmed the United States has the world’s best economy, while a mere 18 percent of Democrats would make the same judgment.
