The idea that reporters are trying to help Obama win in November has grown by five percentage points over the past month. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey, taken just before the new controversy involving the New York Times erupted, found that 49% of voters believe most reporters will try to help the Democrat with their coverage, up from 44% a month ago.
Just 14% believe most reporters will try to help McCain win, little changed from 13% a month ago. Just one voter in four (24%) believes that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage.
The New York Times’ refusal to run an op-ed piece by John McCain challenging an article in the paper less than a week ago by Barack Obama is sure to further fuel the belief that much of the major media is biased in favor of the Democratic candidate.

Recent polls also show that he is on the wrong side of the issues Americans care most about. Rather than blaming the media maybe the candidate should try looking in the mirror. I seem to remember Senator Clinton trying a similar tack. How did that work out for her?

Not surprising -- reporters certainly helped Clinton lose the nomination...
