During the 2008 presidential elecgtion, a Rasmussen Reports survey showed that, "49% of voters believe most reporters will try to help the Democrat [Obama] with their coverage, up from 44% a month ago. Just 14% believe most reporters will try to help McCain win, little changed from 13% a month ago. Just one voter in four (24%) believes that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage."
Conservative blog Redstate thought that voters would "correct for reporters' cheerleading" to the benefit of John McCain.
A related flap occurred recently when it was reported that major news agencies were giving "quote approval" to the Obama and Romney campaigns. Public distaste with the practice has led news organizations to reconsider. Read more about it at The Huffington Post.
