Media bias is real and pervasive. Here's a great example: McCain compounds al Qaeda gaffe by repeating for a fourth time. Does this become a big story? Is it looped on TV? Does it get half the attention something a friend of Obama's said? Nope. Nope. And nope.

Why should it command media attention? It obviously doesn’t fit the pre-determined narrative (McCain = war hero, maverick, and general all-around honest/plain-spoken politician), and is dangerously close to a substantive policy issue bearing directly on the national interest.
Not to mention that, after four times, this clearly isn’t a gaffe.
