Almost all the bias in favor of Obama you've pointed out happened during the primaries, and no wonder -- the press hated Hillary Clinton with a venomous passion. Pretty much all the "mavericky" stuff that you point out about McCain is ancient history and he's since flip-flopped on many of those stances. He now supports the Bush tax cuts. He calls himself fundamentally "a deregulator." He spinelessly caved in to pressure from the religious right when he chose his Vice-Presidential candidate. Maverick?
Why did MSNBC fire Obberman and Mathews??? Because of their own air bias! Another fact.
Yes, that is a fact and it should tell you just who controls the media in this country. Not liberals. The "liberal media" is a myth. Olbermann and Matthews were fired because of pressure from the right, just like Phil Donahue's show was canceled in 2001 despite its high ratings -- because he was challenging conservative views. If you were a real American patriot you'd be horrified that corporations and one political faction had such dominance over our "free press."
You claim you're "cutting through all the crap" and you somehow come down on the side of McCain who's been spewing nothing but crap since he clinched the nomination. I heard so much of the same "I'm a well informed voter!" business from Bush supporters in 2004 even though all the warning signs about him were already well in place -- they were cherry-picking their "information" just like you are. You're embarrassing yourself and boring me and I have better things to do. Go vote for your maverick and barracuda.
