Recently I watched the Republican National Convention and flipped through the different stations to see what type of commentary they were saying about. It was frustrating to listen to the commentators at NBC, MSNBC, ABC, and CNN. It just felt like they weren't being impartial in there journalistic approach. Keith Obermann was the worst appologizing to the TV for the video tribute to the surviviors of 9/11. It was so bad that he was demoted to a analyst instead of being the main commentator.
He really is such an idiot by the way. During his show he falsely accused Sara Palin of the following,
"After apparently taking erroneous information from the far-left-leaning website ThinkProgress on Tuesday to falsely accuse Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin of slashing her state's Special Olympics budget, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Wednesday called the governor a liar in a rant with potential ties to a Daily Kos posting hours earlier." http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/09/18/olbermann-uses-false-information-daily-kos-smear-palin
The fact is that she did not slash the funding but incresed it. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/09/17/olbermann-echoes-thinkprogress-lies-smear-palin
That wasn't bad enough but the media has been vicious towards Sara Palin. I understand that people are going to critic her and thats fine because she was the one who put herself in the publics eyes. However when people start attacking her pregnant daughter that crosses the line. Sure Obama stated that family is off limits, but that isn't going to stop the media, who makes it no secret that they want Obama, from attacking her daughter. I have Sirius radio and occasionaly listen to the Left Channel, which is the liberal talk show station, to see what they are talking about and it was unreal what the commentators were saying about her daughter.
Also there was the Charlie Gibson interview. Again I understand that he needs to be impartial in his interview to not show bias. Also I understand that he was going to ask the hard questions that people wanted to know. But he was so far left in his approach. I felt like he was trying to trick or badger her to say something that would negatively affect her.
I'm sure I'll go more into this topic with greater sources to back up what I'm saying but its just so obvious to me that the major news anchors are in Obama corner and doing all they can to help him and convince the public that he is the man to vote for.
