I’ve been hearing quite a bit of talk that the “liberal media” was much harder on John McCain than Barack Obama.  This is a debatable point at best.  Here is a Blad Blog posting from 7/28/2008 that disputes that.

Many conservative commentators (O’Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.) have recently launched tirades against the fairness doctrine, which mandates that opposing viewpoints be given equal time on radio and television.  There is a fear that Obama will reintroduce the fairness doctrine.

Why are conservatives railing against the fairness doctrine?  If there is a liberal bias in the media, then conservatives should welcome the reintroduction of the fairness doctrine since it would give them equal time to present their viewpoint.  Their rants against the fairness doctrine are illogical unless there is a conservative media bias.
