Most of those people are so full of crap their eyes are brown. "Conventional wisdom" (the reporter's preconceived notions about who can become president) would tell you that Clinton and Obama couldn't win when they ran. Yet, they overcame the odds...probably because they didn't have to fight a biased press that constantly bleated "unelectable" and "kook".

This guy had the best comment:


Michael Parkin Assistant Professor of Politics, Oberlin College :

The media should not base its reporting on a candidate's chances of victory. This can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.Exactly, and I think they and their bosses know this, which is why they do it.

Former Rep. Michael Arcuri Former congressman (D-N.Y.) :

The media has been incredibly unfair to Ron Paul. One has to really wonder if he does not get the coverage he deserves because main stream media does not think he can win the Republican nomination or because main stream Republicans are afraid he can.

This.
