bummer (Score 1)

I for one am sorry to hear this. I think Obama could have won without any bias, maybe even with a small bias against him. He has the right ideas and McCain's campaign was a joke. God help us if a woman like Palin ever wins high office. That said, one of the early posters made a good point - these statistics were just for one paper. I'm sure that, depending on the media market, different papers were biased in different directions. I doubt you found a lot of glowing reportage on Obama in Mississippi or Alabama! And New York was going for Obama no matter what. So maybe over all there was some balance, and maybe the bias wasn't so great that it actually swung the election. After all, after 8 years of Bush/Cheney, the challenger (Democrat) should have won by a landslide, not the average margin that Obama received!
