More than one study has been done on the subject of media bias - for Obama, against Clinton. Conclusion: it's verifiable. I can't remember the source (a highly reputable media watchdog), but stories and analyses and TV commentators critical of (not to mention cruel toward) Clinton were running three to one in Obama's favor as of a few weeks ago. I'm sorry, but the bias is SO blatant that it's making Clinton supporters really dig in their heels. Obama's cool condescension towards her doesn't exactly warm the heart, either; he comes off as a real chauvinist at times.
I'm afraid the damage is already done: it's entirely possible that Clinton partisans will just stay home when the general rolls around. That's how offputting this whole charade has become.
