Is the media biased? NBC News

9/2 Kelly O’Donnell In a story on the vetting process, was it necessary to reveal the teenager's pregnancy, a 22 year old drunk driving citation of her husband and a fine for fishing without a licence? How does this information change Palin's qualification for the presidency. Also taking out of context a statement on the Vice-Presidency she made - implying she didn't know what the Vice-President did. And her comment on "fueling speculation that the vetting was incomplete".

9/2 "It appears this was rushed" - the media implying John McCain doesn't know what it was doing despite the campaign saying Palin was fully vetted.

9/2 Running Obama ad linking McCain and Bush in a story about Bush's low approval ratings. We will see whether ads opposing Obama will appear in a proportional manner.

9/3 Shows McCain ad comparing Palin against Obama.

9/4 In a segment on the convictiion of the Mayor of Detroit, NBC did not mention he was a Democrat
