I share this view.
Several members of the media such as Roger Simon (Politico), Rick Lowry (The National Review), and Howards Kurtz have admitted to this press bias. In an interview with Kurtz, Simon called Obama "the candidate who's won a lot of hearts in the press corps already". Rick Lowry said, "the press hates Hillary. There's real glee over the prospect of being done with the Clintons."

Read the column. It is very enlightening.

1. absolutely right

I've never seen such a disgusting spectacle in my entire life and I'm shocked that so many DUers cannot see it - they thought it was bad when it was a lovefest for bush - well, understand THIS - IT IS BAD WHEN NEWS BECOMES A LOVEFEST FOR *ANY* POLITICIAN. (P.S. if any one of you buttwipes accuses me of being a HILLARY SUPPORTER I WILL KICK YOUR ASS - BECAUSE I AM NOT!!!!!!!!)

3. THAT SHOULD CONCERN YOU

if you don't care because it just happens to be your favored candidate YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT

4. It won't last.

Wait until Obama is facing McCain. Sorry, but this is his honeymoon right now. It's only gonna be downhill from here.

5. I support Obama, and I share your view. My candidate has benefited...

but my expectations of the press are more important to me. The people who aren't giving Hillary fair coverage are the same people who savaged Gore and Kerry -- and if Obama is the nominee, he may well be their next victim.
