Debate coverage clearly was biased against McCain
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The televised coverage of the first presidential debate on September 26 was clearly biased. When Senator McCain was speaking the screen was split much of the time showing Senator Obama shaking his head, smirking, and often saying “No, no” in disapproval of what his opponent was saying. This occurred throughout the debate and clearly diverted attention from what McCain was saying. Yet, when Obama spoke the screen was not split and at most showed a side view of McCain from a distance. Hopefully, subsequent debates will be covered in a more consistent manner.

Not true. I know because I got to see McSame’s facial expressions while Obama spoke (when McSame wasn’t trying to barrel over him)…you know, smirky smart assy grin….rolling the eyes, shaking his head, etc.

“Not true. I know because I got to see McSame’s facial expressions while Obama spoke (when McSame wasn’t trying to barrel over him)”
This was done on purpose, to have only Obama on the screen more than 60 percent of the time would have caused mass swooning and fainting of the media acolytes and Party faithful. It was feared that he might also have the same reaction on some women.
Jerry, you are aware that the media is just another wing of the democrat party. They are bought and paid for, 100% IN THE TANK for their candidate.

WOW Jerry,
I bet you also think the we never landed on the Moon too huh? STAY AWAY FROM THE KOOL-AID. I watcehed the debate and saved it, and watched it one more time over the weekend. I have no freakin idea of what you are talking about. But in true Republican style, if you say things enough you believe people will believe them. I guess I should complain about Rush on KMOX. I listen to KMOX except when the porkr/drug abuser Rush is on. Opps did I say that, guess so. I don’t complain the KMOX is some right wing version of the Republican party. They play Rush, because people listen and its good for ratings. Hes never different than other shock jocks like Howard Stern. Well I will go watch the debate again, oh wait that would just waste some more of my time. Heres to you oh king of KOOL-AIN drinkers LOL
I like that Jerry, You noticed. I’m sure you timed it. Of course you did because you’re a man after the truth, no matter what it takes.
Then again mabe Obama was saying “no, no” because McCain was misrepresenting the truth and mabe Obama was shaking his head because he can actually recognize a lie. Remember when Palin was bragging about the Bridge To Nowhere? What was McCain doing besides smiling?
Hey I.S. am I glad to see you. We need more men like you who stand up for what’s right and our American values. It’s always good to be able to read what you say. Please tell me how I’m suppose to vote.
I keep trying to be a Republican but I remember whebn Reagan lied to me. You remember when he said balanced budget and smaller government and then proceeded to do the opposite as well as giving us Iran Contra and the $250,000,000,000 S&L debacle.
And then Bush worked his magic. I was actually stupid enough to believe that “country first” was his philosophy and then he gave us 9-11 (not his fault0, all those bankruptcies (not his fault), Iraq, and at least a $6,000,000,000,000 deficit.
What’s a person to do. Of course you can’t trust those nasty Demos even though they are the only ones who have actually balanced a budget in the past 50 years. Please I.S., tell me what to do, and be nice.
Sorry about that I.S. I made a couple of mistakes there but at least there aren’t 6,000,000,000,000 and then some. You be a bright guy so I’m sure you’ll figure it out.
My, my Jerry. It’s amazing what we want to see when our brain is clouded with the fear that accompanies everything republican!
Keep trying to work the refs Jerry. Too bad they left the reservation.
Sis-
You offer as proof an opinion blog with two pounds of adjectives, may and maybes and only a couple ounces of nouns. Weren’t YOU the guy who questioned Factcheck ? And you accept THIS stuff as TRUTH ?
Chas, why are you so quick to doubt it? You cant possibly think the media doesnt favor Obama. Sure it is an unsourced quote, not the best type of information to base a story on, but it doesnt stop LSM from doing it.
Do you think there would be a public outcry if say a David Freddoso was moderating a VP debate with his book “The Case Against Barack Obama” on the horizon?
