Yes, the media has a liberal bias. No one should be surprised by this.

No, media coverage is based on newsworthiness. McCain is just not as newsy as Obama.

Sometimes, but it's a long campaign. There weren't a lot of McCain complaints during Obama's problems with Rev. Wright.

I hit it, the numbers are still the same, but I find it hilarious that the option about the media having a liberal bias is stomping the others.

It shows that at least some people know what's going on.
