Three days left, well maybe four, it gets very confusing from this end of things!! But I am so freaking excited, very nervous, but extremely excited!!
I was a bit perturbed to read this earlier. It basically argues that Obama will win the election because he has recieved a lot more positive coverage in the media than McCain/Palin have. So this article says if it wasn't for the overwhelming discrepency in the coverage they've recieved the race would be closer. To that I say poo-poo!
Maybe, just maybe, McCain/Palin have recieved a lot more negative coverage because they've earned it!! The media isn't meant to be equally positive/negative about the campaigns! It's there to report on them. Now, I do agree that media should be unbiased and balanced, and ideally there wouldn't be any mention and positive and negative coverage, it would just be coverage, however, if the past eight years have taught us anything, it is that unbiased media coverage is impossible!
Back to the issue at hand, I think it is ridiculous to hold the campaigns accountable for the media's slant. I'm convinced that Obama has done more to encourage positive coverage than McCain has. He has not once landed a bellow the belt punch to either McCain or Palin, although we all know they deserved it and most of us wish he had! He really has run a good clean campaign, at least from my end, and the positive coverage only reinforces that.
As glad as I am that it's almost over, I have no idea what I'm going to do when it is! haha
read the article, what do you think?
