ace..I dont think the print media bias (or the perception of bias by the right) is dramatically different than it was in 2004.

If anything, it would probably be fair to say that the media is more favorabally disposed towards McCain than they were to Bush.

You are pushing the "media bias" button a little too hard to try to explain how the newpaper endorsement went from nearly even in 2004 to 2-1 for Obama in 2008.

But we agree that they have little impact other than window dressing (sorta like dressing Palin up in a $2500 suit)
