The MSM Is Unfair -- Get Over It.
It's true, as Mariel notes, that there's no conspiracy among MSM types, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bias -- shared attitudes and values among a class that's rather politically and culturally homogenous. That bias has come out in some of the breathless pro-Obama coverage we've seen this year.
While Jonathan's right that some pundits have griped about Obama's shifting positions, that's different from the reporting about him, which has bordered on hagiography.
No, Bridget, McCain won't get fair treatment from the MSM. But then, presidential candidates who whine about the media -- see Clinton, Bill and Hillary -- remind me of sad-sap sports fans who complain about the referees. Life's not fair, get over it.
Presidential campaigns have an army of consultants and millions of dollars to get out their message. If McCain proves unable to do that, it will be nobody's fault but his own.
