The Election in the Media

Voters today have a huge advantage over voters in the past because of the amount of media that information on the election can be shown through. On the other hand, there is a disadvantage because of all the bias coverage there is. I've seen countless commercials on TV that try and discredit Obama, McCain, or Hilary, but that is only because these commercials were created by supporters of their opponents. The advantage is that you can hear both sides of the arguments made by supporters and opponents, and the candidates themselves. Each magazine, newspaper, radio station, website, and television station has puts their own spin on their coverage. You can either find a photo of Hilary Clinton in front of an American flag, looking very presidential, or you can find a photo of her looking her worst. As you can see, these photos almost look like two different people. News sources are supposed to remain unbias, however it is obvious that there is a very week effort to do just that. I noticed that the Fox News election website seems to favor Obama with many links to blogs favoring Obama and opposing McCain and Palin. You can see for yourself at: http://elections.foxnews.com/ The headlines in newspapers imply different things when you see them. The two papers could have the same picture, but the article could be insulting or complimenting it. You can find information on the election in almost every type of media.
