I don't really see it as media malpractice per se. It's a lot like the whole subprime situation. In both cases, part of the general public allowed themselves to be mislead by the media (or the banks\lenders). But when questioned afterwards, the common asnwer was "I didn't know that", even though the information\truth was available.

Had the media gone about doing their job of vetting all candidates fairly 0bama would not have made it past the primaries. The media had an agenda and they pushed their choice more than they have ever done before in an election. Unfortunately we will all pay the price for their duplicity.

How to lie with statistics: Pick voters for one candidate, ask them partisan questions, then make up a conclusion that the data does not control for.
If one took McCain voters, asked them the same type questions, you would get the same type outcome, I would imagine.

Ziegler will pay you double what you put into your own study on McCain voters if you show that to be true.
I wouldn't bet the cow farm on it though.

That wasn't the point I was making. The Washington Post admitted their bias towards 0bama AFTER the election. IF the media had done the same kind of vetting of 0bama as they did with Palin he would not have won the primaries.

No joke, this is about as frightening as anything I've seen throughout this election. Just for some background, on those just reading this for the first time. This group is sitting down with Obama "supporters" and asking them various questions relating to current events, such as "bill ayers" leaders of both house and senate, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, who controlls congress. They also asked some very general questions about the $150,000 spent on clothing and who has a pregnant teenaged daughter, who was first elected by getting opponents thrown off the ballot... This is just a really sad commentary on modern media and it's target market...
