		<description>Frank, Mary, and Anonymous: I think you guys raise some good points, and I encourage you to post on this blog about any media issues which you find integral to the 2008 election.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I stand by my assertion that probably the most influential reporter on primary politics consistently presenting an overly optimistic view about Barack Obama is problematic. That&#039;s not to say that other problems do not exist. I simply mean to say that Barack Obama is a big boy, and he doesn&#039;t need David Yepsen writing his campaign narrative for him.</description>

		<description>It is possible, of course, to be neither an Obama supporter nor a Clinton supporter.  Calling Backer a Clinton supporter is ridiculous, as he is far from it.  The idea that the mainstream media has found it difficult to &quot;stand up&quot; to Clinton or to support Obama is just absurd.</description>

		<description>I wish Clinton supporters would stop winning each time some journalistic outlet questions the establishment candidate (Her Royal Highness Queen Inevitable). &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The MSM reporting so far reminds me of the lead up to Iraq War during which period a majority reporters served as cheerleaders and forgot to question authority. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yepsen may be one of the few journalist reporting what is on the ground in Iowa, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The evidence to back the numbers is obvious in the individual money donations and crowds that Obama receives. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Are the people at rallys also biased against Clinton?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;linda</description>

<p>Yepsen may be one of the few journalist reporting what is on the ground in Iowa, </p>
<p>The evidence to back the numbers is obvious in the individual money donations and crowds that Obama receives. </p>
<p>Are the people at rallys also biased against Clinton?</p>

		<description>I question whether this would have been an issue if Yepsen had been writing positive articles for other candidates. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;No one seems concerned when CNN and NYT and other news outlets write favorably for Clinton and marginalize other candidates. Where was your commentary about the way CNN buried Clinton&#039;s drop in polls with headlines, that seemed to evolve into progressively more positive ones? Or how CNN&#039;s only comment about Barack&#039;s weekend performance was about the music he chose to enter to. NYT doesn&#039;t seem to know that there are candidates other than Clinton, Edwards and Obama running for President. And Fox News has been inappropriate for years. I appreciate your concern, but it seems as biased as you claim Yepsen&#039;s reporting to be.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I agree with frank, Yespen&#039;s objectivity is highly appreciated.</description>

		<description>It takes brave journalists like Yepsen to stand up to the Clinton machine and tell the truth.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Please check and see what the &quot;Clinton News Network&quot; CNN is doing nowadays.&lt;br/&gt;Hillary has been planting questions in her tour and was caught planting one again this weekend but CNN did not as much make mention of it like other networks did.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We, the American people are very proud of Yepsen for standing up and telling the truth as it is.</description>

<p>Please check and see what the &#8220;Clinton News Network&#8221; CNN is doing nowadays.<br />Hillary has been planting questions in her tour and was caught planting one again this weekend but CNN did not as much make mention of it like other networks did.</p>
<p>We, the American people are very proud of Yepsen for standing up and telling the truth as it is.</p>
