It is absurd to say the press was out to get Obama in 2008. Sorry but that is just plain, flat out, wrong. He had the best press of any Democrat since 1976 (and I am not old enough to know if Carter got better press than Obama or not). In 92, Clinton got some decent coverage but mostly not so great. The rest of the races I am old enough to remember were very pro GOP in coverage. In comparision, Obama got at worst neutral coverage in 08. He has had a rough time in office, but during the campaign he got vastly better coverage than any Democrat I can recall. It isn't even a contest.
