For whatever it's worth, I just sent this note to the NBC10 newsteam here in Philadelphia:
"What was with tonight's Politics'08 coverage? Is it so hard to keep biases from covering the news? Your piece about Chelsea Clinton ended with a negative image of students either disinterested or in a defensive pose (why was that image even there?). Your piece about McCain ended with a negative comment about how much his homeowner protection plan would cost. But your coverage of Obama was packed with a full 27 seconds (by my rough count) of people clapping and cheering and otherwise showing their strong support for him (no negatives). I know lots of people are excited about Obama, but it's disheartening state of affairs for our democracy when "news" coverage seems so biased."
