Are We Dupes of the Media?

Question

The media who choose Obama, now has to hide who he really is. So they've turned this election into a popularity contest. We Americans depend on the news media to give us a clear picture of the candidates; yet, they shrug their responsibilities to move their candidate forward. Again, are we dupes of the media?

I think that in November we may have to chronicle how the liberal media helped the conservative party get elected.  It seems as if instead of reporting news in an objective manner they prefer to push their agenda.  They think they are being subtle but Americans are not stupid and can see what they are doing.  As we all know, Americans love an underdog.  They will sway this election to the right barring any big gaffs by McCain and Palin....mark my words.  They will get EXACTLY what they deserve and like Wall Street, necessary corrections will be made for the better.  Just my guess.

Yes,  we are.  The media should be objective, they should present both sides of any story,  and let the viewers make their own decisions.

The mainstream media,  both TV and print, have lost their integrity.

The news frames the issues for people and it isn't always accurate.

Please present evidence that the media favours Obama, other than your opinion.
