Yeah I can see how a Senator who has served less than half of his first term has more name recongition than a former two-term governor. Great reasoning, but the fact remains that every poll taken by the Pew Center has shown that clearly over 80% of reporters at all levels vote what? DEMOCRAT.

I didn't reason it on that basis. Obama is a rising star. It doesn't matter if he's relatively new in the Senate...he's much more well known. Mostly due to the 2004 Democratic Presidential Convention.

And even still, that poll would be irrelevant to the topic. The issue at hand is whether or not the reporting is biased, and if such views emerge in the reporting. It's very debatable when it comes to most mainstream news, and they usually appear to just be centrist. However it is undebatable that conservative views effect the reporting in Fox News and AM radio. But in the end it's almost irrelevant, as any small politically biased voice is squashed by the yells of the bias toward making profit, big-business, and power.
