STOP THE PRESSES!

Democrat Barack Obama has had about a 3 to 1 advantage over Republican John McCain in [Washington] Post Page 1 stories since Obama became his party's presumptive nominee June 4.

Really? I never noticed.

Who Cares - The Calendar Reads 2008, not 1973. The Post doesn't have the juice it did back then. Oh well. -S-

Ah, I see, Doc: then there's no chance at all that the other media outlets might, just possibly, have coverage slanted to merely the 2:1 level? Oh, well, in that case, no foul...right?

Alberto,

Could this possibly be attributed to the "MSM" applying "Affirmative Action" in their coverage? ... ;) LOL!!!

I wish you well :) Melek

That's nothing - don't forget that Newsweek, which is part of the WaPo family, have had a whole series of campaign posters passed off as front covers to their rag. The Weekly Standard had a good gallery on that a couple of weeks back.

It's three to one across the board, not just at The Post.
