Media Bias, Case No. 36,709

H/t to Race42008:

CBS News General Election

  • Barack Obama/Joe Biden 54% (52%)
  • John McCain/Sarah Palin 41% (41%)
  • Undecided 4% (5%)

Survey of 747 likely voters was conducted October 28-31. Party ID breakdown: 40.8% (D); 27.6% (R); 31.6% (I). Results from the poll conducted October 25-29 are in parentheses.

This is the most insane party ID sample I have ever seen. The media is so in the tank for Obama, they're using ridiculous voter samples. There is no way that there is a 23% difference between Republican and Democrat voters, and absolutely no way that Independents outnumber Republicans. For CBS to try to pass this off as a poll is simply laughable.

The pollsters only thought they got a bad reputation after 2004... they ain't seen nothin' yet!

Obama Buys Prime-time on CBS

(And no, that headline doesn't mean he's been paying the anchors and commentators.)
Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of airtime on CBS, sources confirm. The Obama campaign will air a half-hour primetime special on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m.
(h/t to Okie Campaigns)

The last presidential candidate to do this was Ross Perot in 1992. Apparently, NBC has also signed a similar deal.
