A lot of complaints about media bias appear on this board, and just about everywhere else. There's no doubt it exists. But I see people complaining about the right wing bias of pundits who clearly come from a left-wing background, just because the don't like what the person is saying. (And, of course, there are people who make the same type of complaint from the Dark Side.)

Here's the uniform media bias that I see -- and it does work against Obama:

The media -- which, of course, doesn't include Fox News -- is biased to make this a horserace, to keep people watching and up their ratings. That bias worked against Obama in the Primary, once he had an insurmountable lead over Clinton. Now that he's mopping up McCain in the electoral college, you keep hearing pundits instead talking about his smaller margin in the meaningless overall popular vote -- the exact same thing they were criticizing Hillary for doing during her campaign.

So, get ready for a frustrating election. Obama is once again going to have the media disadvantage of being the frontrunner. And pundits on both sides of the political spectrum are going to discount his lead as much as possible, to keep viewers interested in the race.

The sponsor bias seems (to me) to be the most overpowering, ubiquitous bias of all.
