There is media bias going on involving not reporting about the fraud the GOP has committed against the Paul campaign by stealing Iowa and Maine from him and givin those wins to Mitt and Rick.

How did they steal the election from Ron Paul? There's alot of things I like about Ron Paul, but think that a couple of his stances would prevent him from doing well as president.

See what I mean. It was set up for Gore to have a big break through the weekend before the election which made Bush look weak for blowing such a lead overnight. Not one issue could've happened over the weekend to cause that kind of disaster for anyone.

Your story completely misses something that is far more significant than partisan bias: Political coverage in the media is biased toward underdogs, novelty, and surprises.
Nonsense! See below.
Fact: Everyone thinks the media is biased against their candidate.
Why is Vermin Supreme getting like no media coverage?
Clearly the media is biased against him. Angry

But Supreme does receive some coverage - and clearly any coverage at all is disproportionate to the political importance of his campaign.
Vermin Supreme falls into all three categories.
That should merit more than 44 results on Google News.

The Bush DUI story was used as the explanation. Bush acknowledged it the Thursday or Friday before Election Day. He used the "I hid it to protect my daughters" defense, remember?
