The Media

Morning Joe

I have a question for Scarborough who was ballyhooing a new CMPA poll showing more favorable news coverage for Senator Obama, and therefore a media bias against Senator McCain. (That last part makes me laugh given that the barbecue press is McCain's self-admitted "base.")

Do you honestly -- honestly! -- believe, Joe, that there have been an equal number of positive news items coming from each of the two campaigns warranting equally positive coverage? Or do you think, given the litany of McCain missteps, gaffes, smear ads, lies, and failing polls, there might actually be more negative news about the McCain campaign simply because that's the reality?

Just asking.
