That wasn't for Republicans compared to now?
The needle has tilted more in favor of Democrats compared to 2008 in my opinion. I'm not saying on all networks.
As for Obama's campaign they were very well organized compared to previous elections. Especially using the various tools that were still relatively new. And this year I'm sure it will be more advanced. There may be new methods to advance the message or put them off balanced that the campaign haven't figured out yet that just needs to be understood. One of which I expect will be utilized when they realize it can be used to stall the campaign of whoever wins the nomination. It is a matter of engaging the opponent's staff and put them out of commission so they don't perform their assignment as I did to some degree today.

They covered the Tea party as if it was REAL ... not a GOP creation.
And now, they are stuck pretending that the GOP clown parade is an actual effort to find a GOP candidate, and not a Trump reality show.
If the media was PRO Dems, none of these things would have occurred.

(50,912 posts)I stated essentially that there is more favorable reporting compared to 4 years ago. Did not say that it is pro Dems. I'm not talking about the time of the last election to now either. But rather 2008 election year and now.
Who did we have that were the likes of O'Donnell, Maddow, Schultz, Olberman, and some others? How much more airtime have we gotten compared to 2008 via these people?
