24/7 Cheney and daughter coverage on a day when Obama makes a speech, which, BTW, with all of their Cheney coverage I haven't had a chance to see without going to youtube. Gore said something somewhere and was totally ignored as well. All networks are bashing Obama and we have our share of dissenters here as well. I am not talking about questioning things that deserve it like the photos, prosecuting Bush, etc. I am talking about an overall disdain that he isn't doing one's bidding withing the first six months of office after it took Bushco 8 years to mess it all up. Obama is being questioned, in fact every day all you hear about is his feet being held to the fire, way more than anything positive about the actual things he has done.

1. Don't list FOX with the other two.
Honestly, not that the others are dedicated to the truth so much as FOX is dedicated to one political party and claims to be "fair and balanced."

4. My father watched MSNBC the other morning for the first time...
.... first time he'd watched the morning show, "they're worse than Fox!" he said ..... I had to explain to him about Scar.

3. If BIden had been giving a speech at the same time as Obama,
or right after, does anyone think the media would have covered it?

Hell no. They rarely cover the VPs speeches, unless it's a FORMER VP named dick.
