David B-

That’s funny about your take on the Trib and DesNews. The Trib may be center-left, but the DesNews cannot be hard-right. Maybe that reveals more about where we are.

Jed-

I thought that Politico article was ridiculous. As bad as I may think an Obama presidency may be, I think the damage the media has done to their credibility will be perhaps be as bad or worse. Their bias has become blatant cheerleading. As bad as we are told McCain is said to be doing (as Politico suggests), the polls don’t quite agree. And for the media to say that McCain is not doing well easily becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The pith: “As it happens, McCain’s campaign is going quite poorly and Obama’s is going well. Imposing artificial balance on this reality would be a bias of its own.”

I can’t wait to see how Utah votes. I don’t expect it to go blue, but It hasn’t been polled in over a month and I imagine the race has tightened there a bit.

Also, the Tribune’s editorial pages aren’t nearly as left-leaning as people on both ends of the spectrum like to think. Yeah, it looks like a left tilt compared to the hard-right lean of the Deseret News, but the Tribune has at most a center-right op-ed page.
