Clearing up this media bias business

Investors Business Daily:

Noted pollster Scott Rasmussen brings us the disturbing news that most Americans expect their news media to favor President Barack Obama in news coverage this election season.

Rasmussen's latest survey mirrors findings in late fall 2008 when, as you no doubt remember, the media was doing everything within its power to promote the candidacy and qualifications of Sarah Palin to help John McCain move into the White House. HotAir's Jazz Shaw explains here.

Or wait! Was it the other way around? The media hailing the potential and the flagrant promises of the man with no record who kept saying, "Yes, We Can." And it turned out, "Nope, He Couldn't and Didn't."

Anyway, the new Rasmussen poll reports that this time 51% of likely voters now fully expect reporters to help the incumbent Democrat keep his office, while only 9% expect reporters to help the Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Nine percent? Really that much?

Other Rasmussen findings: 18% of likely voters, presumably deaf, blind and living in closets, can't make up their minds, while 22% absolutely expect unbiased coverage throughout the remaining national agony and bonanza for commercial TV stations. Obviously, they only watch C-SPAN.

Those of us who have been around for any length of time (say longer than 5 minutes) assume "The Media" is on the side of the left. It has almost come to the point of if the MSM reports some positive about a Conservative...it's the kiss of death.
