I am still waiting for Obama and Biden to get grilled by the media, and I’ve been paying very close attention. Even O’Reilly’s interview let Obama off easy. Biden’s recent gaffes have basically been brushed off by the media, as if they are simply laughing, “Oh, there goes old Joe again. It’s what he does.” And Obama and Biden seem to disagree more than McCain and Palin, but the differences between the latter are more widely reported.
It’s also not just gaffes we are talking about. It’s real issues regarding the candidate’s backgrounds that the media is inadequately reporting. They seem to think that Wasilla, Alaska has more political dirt and corruption than Chicago.
I also wouldn’t say that Obama’s foreign policy credentials count as “experience.” He certainly has foregin policy knowledge, but the real experience comes from McCain.

I took a communications course when I was an undergrad. I forgot who said it, but the quote was, “The media is the message.”
I keep that in mind every time I change channels or pick up the paper.
