media bias

Again, I'd like to congratulate Mr. Obama on a great campaign and an impressive win. This campaign season was quite the run, with the media being a huge part of it. Watching the different news stations the day of the elections I certainly noticed bias in the media. Watching ABC near the end of the day all I saw were shots of Harlem and Chicago with mobs of people chanting "O bam a, O bam a." All the news clips showed Obama fans from all across the nation. Not until McCain's speech after Obama was declared president-elect did I see a clip of McCain supports. On the other hand, on FOX after Obama's win was confirmed, the news achors looked as though they were literally about to cry. After McCain's speech they kept praising him as an "American hero," not once--in the time I was watching, at least--did they praise Obama in any way.

In my opinion, the media has been rather biased throughout the entire campaign season. Hopefully in four years the media will be able to keep their opinions out of their news stories and off the air!
