Fact Checking CNN's Fact Check

The hard part of the campaign for McCain has been the obvious media bias for Obama. Whether a reporter has a thrill up his leg, or just doesn't report all of the facts in a story, McCain has to work twice as hard to get even decent coverage.

To illustrate, I reviewed the "Fact Check" section of the CNN website and what do you think I found? What I found was definite evidence of media bias for Obama. Of the 20 "fact check" posts I reviewed, 17 were pro Obama, with just 3 supporting McCain. The three that were for McCain included one with definite numbers that couldn't be disputed with a separate study and another could not be disputed because of factual statements already existing in the press records.

What is particular is that some of the pro-Obama decisions should have gone McCain's way. At other times when the numbers supported McCain, they reported McCain's statements as "misleading," something they almost never did for McCain.
