The notion that the media is favoring McCain over Obama is really absurd. Every time I've seen some story about McCain, which has been rare, it's been negative, but most of the Obama coverage I've seen, which has been near-constant, has been neutral or positive. I say this as someone who thinks all candidates are scum, by definition, for seeking to rule over others; I don't "have a horse in this race", and frankly wouldn't mind seeing every last one of them tarred, feathered, and crucified.

VOTERSTHINK doesn't edit the video titles to get more views, asswipe. He takes quotes from the segments that he feels are most appropriate using his own discretion. What the hell are you complaining about anyways? The user is spending hours and hours of their own free time to give us videos that some us of wouldn't otherwise get a chance to see. You should be grateful you incompetent twat.

McCain : "The Media will always be my base"
He said this in 2005, to Evan Thomas of Newsweek:

Not like the proof isn't very much in his recent coverage.
MSNBC's Chris Matthews to John McCain :
"Senator McCain, you know you're in our hearts!" ... Matthews asserted: "The press loves McCain. We're his base."

TV ratings went up when Obama was shown, Americans tuned in to watch Obama far more than McCain.
US Media's Reporting on Obama was 72% negative and 28% positive (Media twisted Obama stories in order to make them all sound negative while they did the Opposite for McCain, US media being McCain's base made sure to hide all his negatives), US Media's reporting for McCain was at least 43% positive

All of US Mainstream Media has been very biased against Obama since the primaries ended and the Media boss McCain started campaigning against Obama (Media keeps proving every day why McCain calls the US Media his base) ....

If only life were so simple (or as simplistic). Neocons ARE conservatives, thus from the right, even though they betray traditional GOP principles. Fascists ARE as far right as you could possibly go. Don't confuse draconian tactics as being a left/right thing; they can & are exploited from either side or the middle. The only thing you wrote that was true is neocons = fascists.
"Fascists ARE as far right as you could possibly go."
If you define the "right" as it was originally defined, thereby putting totalitarianism, subordination of the individual to the state, "authority", to the far right. That then puts anarchism, recognition of individual sovereignty and state illegitimacy, liberty, to the far left. That would make Obama, as a totalitarian statist, a right-wing extremist though. Flip the scale and he'd be a leftist, but so too would fascists and neocons.
