Bias?

People are now suggesting that we are picking on McCain, and that the media is being bias. Based on a yahoo article written by Jim Vandehei, and john F. Harris there has been many people complaining about the negative media coverage McCain has been receiving. Research has shown that since the Republican Convention John McCain has received four times the negative stories than positive, and Barack Obama has received twice the amount of positive stories. I don’t see this as being bias I see this as being smart. News reporters want people to read or see their information. The more the media displays what the people want the more ratings they receive. Based on the polls such in real Politics we see that Barack Obama has a decent lead. So obviously people are leaning towards him more and the more “bad” media McCain gets the more the people in Obama’s side tune in. In the end of the article they start to explain the different type of bias, and the one called “bend over backward” is very appealing to me. The reason is because they explain that in the vice presidential debate many news media graced Sarah Palin’s performance. While in reality she did not do a good job, her defense mechanism was too spilt out everything she knew about policies. I knew that I was not the only person that thought that. When I saw the vice presidential debate I was expecting for Sarah Palin to make a fool out of herself. The truth is she did but she did it in such a sneaky way that many people did not here the answers she was giving to the specific questions. I do not think I am bias on my comments, I just find it funny that people are now worry about the negative media attention McCain is receiving, however when Hillary Clinton was running she got it worse and the media basically told her to suck it up.
