His pastor's serum was run in a loop by every single cable and network news program for weeks. Palin was given front and center authority and exposure to cheer on racists at her rallies with almost no one in the media pointing that out until it really started getting out of control and the crowd began to attack the media. William Ayers was discussed constantly as though being on the same non-profit board with someone for a brief period constituted a deep relationship with a terrorist.

This was carried on CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and not just Fox, and in every major newspaper.

Give me a break. He was treated like crap by the vast majority of the media and there was not one hour that went by when it wasn't either mentioned in some condescending way that he is Black or the question asked: "Can a Black man win the presidency?" I'm sorry but that is a major insult and degradation of this man and his accomplishments whether they meant it or not. It's like: "He's accomplished a lot and he is an intelligent and decent man, but oooo-weee, did you notice he's Black?" It was disgraceful. There is no way of saying the campaign by the media to ignore almost everything about this man except his skin color wasn't denigrating and offensive.

Clinton and Edwards were by no means treated worse than or as bad as Obama.
