SOME AMERICANS ARE AWAKE: POLL REVEALS PUBLIC NOTICES MAINSTREAM MEDIA BIAS

Still...I'm shocked the number isn't higher:
The New York Times’ refusal today (Monday) to run an op-ed piece by John McCain challenging an article in the paper less than a week ago by Barack Obama is sure to further fuel the belief that much of the major media is biased in favor of the Democratic candidate.

The idea that reporters are trying to help Obama win in November has grown by five percentage points over the past month. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey, taken just before the new controversy involving the Times erupted, found that 49% of voters believe most reporters will try to help the Democrat with their coverage, up from 44% a month ago.

Just 14% believe most reporters will try to help McCain win, little changed from 13% a month ago. Just one voter in four (24%) believes that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage.
Slam dunk poll numbers when you consider the 14% who think the media favors McCain are foaming at the mouth nutjobs.
