All that complaining about bias in the "mainstream media" has paid off: A new Rasmussen poll finds 55 percent of voters say the media's coverage of the presidential campaign is more biased than in previous years. Six percent say the media is less biased, while 36 percent see no change. Twice as many Republicans as Democrats say the coverage is more biased; 52 percent of Democrats see no change compared to 16 percent of Republicans. Last month, 69 percent of voters said reporters were trying to help the candidate they want to win, and 50 percent said that candidate was Obama. (Eleven percent said reporters favored McCain.) Republicans see an overwhelming pro-Obama bias at CNN and MSNBC, while 58 percent of Democrats see a pro-McCain tilt at Fox.
