Um, isn't the owner of US Ragazine a maxed-out Obama donor and supporter?

Just sayin'. I'm sure there's nnnooooooooo bias there.

Why am I not surprised? Here we have some of the most down-to-earth people to admire and what does the elite-rati do? They smear, smear, and then smear some more. Then they turn around and call the RNC a vicious attack machine. Or, that they are using Karl Rove tactics.

The worst part is, that so many Americans read these trash rags. It should be as plain as the nose everyone's face that the media is in the tank and they are making the kool-aid for all to drink.

It's not just this magazine. Liberal bias is rampant in most mainstream media. Read Weapons of Mass Distortion.

The Kaiser Family Foundation survey in 2001 found that members of the media were four times as likely to identify themselves as "liberal" than as "conservative." Similarly, the survey found that members of the media were more than seven times more likely to identify themselves as "Democrat" than as "Republican." The poll questioned 1,206 members of the public, 300 "policy makers" and 301 "media professionals, including reporters and editors from top newspapers, TV and radio networks, news services and news magazines."

The magnitude of liberal pandering in favor of Obama should be scrutinized for it's relative contribution value to the campaign.

Jann Wenner owns US Magazine and Rolling Stone. If you look up his contributions to candidates on NewsMeat you will see that he gave over $148,000 to liberals including over $8,500 to Obama. On my blog I wrote about him and the unbelievable level of media bias from Chris Matthews to Jeff Cowan.
