Frankly, it’s astounding. Five days before an election one of the giants of the news media admits we don’t know much about Obama and his worldview.

How can this be?

.

Easy.
All television media with exception of Fox News (who by the way was the ONLY network that gave even numbers of both negative/positive stories on both candidates) sold their journalistic souls in exchange to help Obama get elected.

MSNBC - is unapologetically the HQ for the Obama campaign with 73% negative stories on McCain with a tiny 13% on Obama..and that was probably 3 in the morning.
NBC is only slightly better.
CBS/ABC both gave TWICE as many negative stories on McCain than Obama.
Only Fox gave a completely even score to both candidates.

I have been extremely disappointed in the media, it is God awful that we have to look to British media to get stories before we see them here.

The fact is with this kind of unabashed slanted coverage - there is no reason for Obama to be specific! Why the hell would he be?

It is an absolute travesty that a person could get elected to the most powerful position on earth - and no one, not one single general voter knows anything about them.
