So how tough has the corporate media been on McCain/Palin lately?

Is it safe to watch/listen to them a little again? I've heard they have been thougher but wanted to survey. 1 is the weakest, 10 is the toughest.

1. I guess based on the results so far I'll keep avoiding the big media

2. They're too busy blabbering about Ike

I get especially annoyed when they spend time telling us all about how they're keeping their reporters safe and explaining the details of how they broadcast. Pure fluff.

But as far as McFailin' goes, we're not gonna see much better reporting 'cause they want to keep the horserace going of course. They'll do just enough of what they can pretend is "critical" reporting to make it seem like they're neutral, but not the smallest bit more.

Give up on the MSM, they've given up on being truly responsible to us.

3. They have recently started a pattern of "get tough"

only on Friday nights and all day Saturday, but by early Sunday morning they are back to business as usual. Which = bashing Obama and praising McLame... And the repuke praising/Dem bashing continues into Monday, running through to Thursday, when suddenly a little crack appears as they get ready to wash, rinse, repeat that following Friday.

I.e., they spend 2 days a week vetting McLame and 5 days a week bashing Obama (since they vetted him for 19 months straight), which is their definition of "balance". :eyes:
