Remember to Vote: New Media Study Indicates Bias for Barack Obama

Remember to vote on (or before) November 4th...

Before you vote, it may be interesting to you that the study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University found that coverage of Senator Barack Obama has been 65% positive, but coverage of Senator John McCain has been only 36% positive.

According to the study by researchers at George Mason University, there has been a documented media bias for Obama and against McCain. Does this influence your vote? I don't know. Should it influence your vote? I don't know that either. However, it is my belief that you should know about it.

The link below has the details. Judge for yourselves...

What do you think about Obama not being a natural born U.S. Citizen? He can't be President, right?
