Interesting read Martin. Both The Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times have also endorsed Obama, the first democratic presidential endorsement by either newspaper. Surprising, given that the CT has a 161-year history. Which means practically nothing to most voters now, but it's worth mentioning...

No surprise that they went for Obama.  Nearly every newspaper in the country is in the bag for Obama.  There is absolutely no objectivity whatsoever in the mainstream media/press.  They have openly admitted they have given over their objectivity and fairness in reporting to promote Obama.

So much for a free and impartial press.

It's also within the realm of possibility that most media outlets have discovered that Obama is a steadier leader.  Putting partisanship aside, does anybody really want the "hail mary" guy running the country right now?  Like it or not, a huge number of folks in this country vote for president based on who they perceive to be the best person, not who has the best policies.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who might be the steadier leader this time around.

Being fair and impartial doesn't mean completely ignoring reality.  Sometimes two sides of an issue aren't even.  In those cases, its actually wholly unfair to treat them as such.  It's called a false equivalence.  When one guy says it's raining and the other says it's not raining, when it's clearly not raining it's sort of retarded to let the raining guy continue to speak.
