O'Reily: McCain Could Be Losing Because He Went On 'Larry King' Instead Of The 'Factor'
Senator Obama has raised about twice the money John McCain has and that huge paid advertising advantage is helping Obama big time: 35 million people saw his infomercial Wednesday night.

McCain was on "Larry King" -- maybe 3 million people saw that. McCain could have been on "The Factor" and 7 million people would have seen him. Also, millions more would have heard him on "The Radio Factor," but the senator passed and we don't exactly know why.

Now the Rasmussen and Gallup tracking polls today have Obama leading McCain by about 5 points. A brand new FOX News poll has the race a bit tighter: Obama leading McCain by 3 among likely voters. But there's no question time is running out for John McCain.

In addition to the money, it's now certain that the American media has given Barack Obama an enormous advantage. According to a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism, John McCain's getting hosed big time. In all of the media studied, 57 percent of the stories on McCain were negative, 29 percent negative for Obama. Newspapers are very unfair: 69 percent of the reporting on McCain negative, as opposed to 28 percent negative for Obama.

He goes on to whine about NBC/M$NBC at link. Funny stuff!

3. BillO thinks the world revolves around him
Sometimes I wonder if he is really a comedian and this is a fake persona--but then I realize that it probably is not.

10. Re: Media bias against McChicken
If you act like a fucking lunatic, you're not exactly giving them the opportunity to write a positive piece on you.

11. Actually, it is safer for McCain that less people hear him. Every time
he opens his mouth, his polling numbers probably go down. O'Reily is under the impression that the more people that hear McCain, the more people will embrace McCain's BS.

12. I read the whole post in Keith's faux-Billo voice. Hilarious.
Try it with just this part: McCain could have been on "The Factor" and 7 million people would have seen him. Also, millions more would have heard him on "The Radio Factor," but the senator passed and we don't exactly know why.
