Obama gets less positive coverage than any other candidate and more negative coverage than any current candidate except Gingrich: PEJ's Election Report | Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ)

White, male Republicans dominate the Sunday morning talk shows: If It's Sunday, It's Meet The Republican White Men | ThinkProgress

This Sunday, the burning issue needing immediate attention was a bunch of Secret Service guys getting hookers: On This Week, Much Pearl Clutching Over Secret Service Men Behaving Badly | Crooks and Liars

How's that for liberal media?

How much positive coverage does he merit, or doesn't that count? Is coverage a good way to judge "fairness"?

Don't look at the Obama WH for a view of diversity--its another good ole boy club with females largely excluded.

The Secret Service guys involved with hookers should be big news. In the pre-Clinton era, I bet there would have been significant moral outrage from all quarters. My issue is when it seems to only follow party lines.

Don't look to MS Fowler for anything concerning the real facts. His bias has overwhelmed him:

Obama Administration Executive Appointments

Fair questions, but at least they have taken a look at the issue. We hear the near constant refrain about the press being in the bag for Obama and about how liberal the media are, but those claims are almost never linked to any evidence. The reason such claims get thrown around without any support is that they are mostly BS, IMHO.Obama got off on the wrong foot on that issue, but has taken steps to correct it, as evidenced by BC's post. What does that have to do with media bias?What does that mean? When what seems to only follow party lines?

EVERYTHING seems to follow party lines--my guy/gal does ______ and there are reasons why its OK. Your guy/gal does _________ and its grounds for recall/ impeachment. Very little follows principles regardless of whose ox is being gored.

Well considering your liberal media has been slobbering over Obama since sometime before 2008 and has given him almost continual glowing coverage
for the past three years....a little drop and you're upset?

I think this SS 'abuse' thing has been going on for a long time. A friend of mine told me a story about a bawdy house in Turkey he visited some 50 years ago.

He had been in Iran on a little scouting trip and when he and the other guys saw how close they were to Turkey one of them said he knew of a great place there so they dropped by.

I was pretty shocked back then. I am even more shocked that it is still going on. I always considered myself an example of an American where ever I went so I always tried to keep my best foot forward.

Honesty is the best policy.

Speak for yourself. This case really doesn't have much to do with parties, so I would hope that people can look at it more objectively than what you describe.

In this case, I do agree with you. It does not constitute a black mark on the administration. That anyone defends the actions of these agents shows how much we've changed in the last decades.

Suppose you were the one uninvolved agent on this trip trying to explain it to your wife. Any chance she'd believe you?

Considering the situation he was handed by Bush, I think he deserves considerable positive coverage. All you hard right folks with your selective amnesia seem to have forgotten that Bush drove our economy into the ditch with his wars, unfunded prescription drug plan, Bernacke, Sarbanes-Oxley, the list goes on. Not even Ronald Reagan could ride in on his white horse and solve all the problems in four years. But, just turn off your frontal lobe and rely on the medulla...

I find it especially interesting that the champion of 'media bias' can't even respond in a fashion that displays interest in a different POV concerning the supposed area of expertise.

Diversity... see above.

Secret Service issue. Unrelated smoke screen, which isn't even remotely Obama's fault, no matter how much you want it to be. It isn't 'big news'

maybe not Fox, maybe Rush....

I think you are correct.
