That was an excellent post about polls and how Obama is doing. I think that the media will play things up like the race is close even if it isn't as things approach election night. I saw Wolf Blitzer talking about the poll results but it didn't sound as positive as it should have been. In fact, I think he said that Obama didn't get as much of a boost from his Europe trip as he could have. They also downplayed McCain's biopsy news and said again that he received a clean bill of health. But when I watched The Daily Show they listed many health problems for McCain. So as far as health goes, they are on McCain's side. I also agree that more press isn't necessarily good press. They are waiting for Obama to make a big mistake so they follow and report on everything. Although they report on McCain making gaffes they never link it to his age or to the mistakes he could make as President.

ABC news is nothing but an extension of the McCain campaign.

NBC has most of the political shows. Most of the hosts and guests claim ad nauseum that Barack has "problems" with every demographic under the sun.

That all goes into the negative rating from that study.

Heard today on the "Ed Schultz show:" Robert Lichter, President of the Center for Media and Public Affairs George Mason University said on Monday that the Center's research has found that candidate John McCain gets his most-favorable coverage from ABC News; Barack Obama gets his least-favorable coverage from NBC News.

I was having a glitch with disqus also..I don't know if it's related to your difficulty getting into the open thread.

I posted on their forum support desk section and it seems to be resolved.

Pat Buchanan is a dyed-in-the-wool racist.

Always will be.

Yeah, Joe and Pat heads are literally going to explode any moment now.

I was in the shower this morning, but my husband said that the following exchange happened on Scarborough. Joe asked Buchannan if he wished Reagan would have received as much coverage as Obama is currently. Buchannan responded something to the effect of, "the media is covering this like the civil rights movement, as if they are on the right side". WTF.
I think MSNBC think it is really funny to have this old cranky racist guy on. I think because his views are so well know, he gets away with it.

That was hilarious.

And the answer to your question, "No I don't think he's been briefed."

Hee

"McCain is already out of sorts and can't deal with the prospects of Obama beating him.

Sometimes I think McCain nods off while his campaign staff go nuts. Does he look like he's been briefed? I think he's out there sometimes just making shit up.
