LARRY KING TONIGHT:  OBAMA/PALIN

Lopsided  . . . . yes.

Featured tonight on Larry King will be Sarah PALIN and MICHELE OBAMA.

Why not Sarah PALIN and Barack OBAMA?

Why not Michele OBAMA and Todd PALIN?

Answer:  It would portray a lopsided view if Sarah and Barack were interviewed on the same program—no advantage for Democrats.  If Michele and Todd were featured, it would compare the spouse of a Presidential candidate with the spouse of a Vice-Presidential candidate—not as advantageous for Democrats.

We know there is media bias.  We know there are subtle persuasions. 

MSM is not covering evenly if they show a lopsided picture.

What do you think?.

I think in figuring out the balance scale, you have to figure in Larry King himself on whatever side Sarah Palin is not.

Let's hear it for CNN's attempt at putting Palin on the equal ground progressive feminists would want. How subtle is the message that Palin's appropriate place is at the side of a candidate, not THE candidate.

I think tonight's program on Larry King is a more subtle bias.  CNN seems to be leaning toward avoiding "the appearance of" bias.  IMO, it is too little, too late.

There is no choice with MSM.  Republicans must take their MSM time where they can find it.  Not easy!

For this election, Republicans are fighting a tougher battle.
