Jeff Smith: Is the Media in the Tank for Obama?

The MSM isn’t biased in favor of Romney. The MSM isn’t biased in favor of Obama.

It is biased – like everyone else trying to survive and thrive – in favor of page views.

And I can pretty much guarantee that Mitt’s shearing of the gay classmate gets a hell of a lot more of them than the rollout of his Middle East policy.

Now that technology has enabled the media to get this down to a science and shift the placement of pieces online from minute-to-minute, the media, more than ever – to paraphrase Republican ingenue Christine O’Donnell – “is you.”
