He is a main stream President who ran as a main stream candidate, no threat to Wall Street and the rich (his actions more than prove that), McCain was a bit of a wild card and not trusted completely by the power elite, and Palin...my God! For the most part, news agencies cover elections pretty fairly as there is seldom much to choose from regarding the candidates. Notice how Paul is pretty much ignored by the media, I don't agree with a lot of his views but I can see that he's treated like poison.

Hasn't that changed since the election? The guy was treated like a rock star. His whole platform was Change and more imprtantly I'm not Bush, the media never called him out on anything.
