Objectivity is definitely not easy, especially when you're in the business of Journalism;  however, the most blatant double standard has been shown for the 2008 election.  I nearly rolled on the floor laughing while reading an article on drudgereport.com concerning media bias.  Has the media been bias about the presidential election?  The answer is just as obvious as the necessity for an umbrella when it's pouring down rain outside.  The golden boy of the media is clearly Barack Obama.  Since he was selected as one of the Democratic nominees for President, the majority of the mass media has lifted him up on their pedestal as the prime choice for leader of the free world.  Hillary Clinton suffered her demise because of it, and John McCain may very well be the next one on the chopping block.
