Several months ago I was strongly for Obama. Then I started to see flaws in his candidacy - experience, ultra liberal approach, etc.. I was greatly surprised by McCain choice for VP but not well informed about Palin. While I still lean towards Obama/Biden, I have noticed (again) a notable bias in TV and print media coverage of the two tickets. It has become increasingly obvious that this coverage is very biased against Palin (and to a lesser extent McCain). I'm not talking the facts, but more the way the facts are presented - the nuances of communication if you will. Freedom of the press is one of the foundation stones of our democracy. Increasingly that particular foundation stone seems to have its own agenda. I never thought that I would agree with the ultra right on anything but I do see a lot of truth in their charge of media bias. Please Mr. Talbot, leave your persdonal feelings and bias out of your reporting. You are rapidly becoming a real "spin doctor" and demeaning your entire profession.
