We either have the first African-American President or the first female Vice President. Regardless of what the outcome is…we are all part of a historic election.

I feel that the MSM are so worried about being called biased that they haven't been saying "It's sunny!" when in fact it is. That reluctance to state the facts in order to appear balanced is a definite bias. It has taken weeks for the MSM to finally admit that Obama has got the electoral college votes to win (unless there are serious shenanigans going on). http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=189159 As Campbell Brown said this week on the Daily Show, if one candidate says it’s raining and one candidate says it’s sunny, she should be able to go to the window, see that it’s sunny, and say who is wrong.

The "media" in general always has been and always will be biased. To me it's all about what you purport to be... Politico claims journalism..reporting the news.. not op/ed.. So, an accusation of bias is warranted if the bias shapes what is reported. the distinction needs to be between reporting and opining... I agree completely, it is what it is.

Read history. This election is tame compared to some. And...newspapers and "journalists" have ALWAYS sided one way or the other. The ONLY difference is that in this communication age we SEE it all. It's always been there! We're simply SHOCKED when we see coverage of natural disasters or fires or accidents -- like they never happened before cable news! It is what it is. Read history.
