No Matter The Size of the Crowds, Obama Gets No Press

I find it truly amazing that the media can't find anything good report on Barack Obama.  In New Hampshire, he was endorsed by the new Mayor and had a crowd of approximately 9,000 people.  What does this man have to do?  While in NY, it was estimated that he had a crowd of approximately 24,000, and that was in Hillary's backyard.

Instead of giving Obama the proper coverage, they will give him a quick sound bite.  While at the same time report heavily on Hillary Clinton.  For example, she drew a crowd of about 3,000 for her birthday-fundraiser-flip flop session and that was enough for her to get the bulk of the press coverage. 

Someone please help me to understand this.  I am not being biased.  I watch CNN, MSNBC and CNBC (no need to watch fox, already no where they stand) and all these news stations are doing the same thing.  You can't talk about his rally's but you will talk about him not wearing a pin.  They won't cover his stand on issues, but they will talk about a so called formally gay gospel singer who supports him.  Give me a break.

I am starting to believe more and more that something is not right about this election.  Not because Obama is getting little coverage, but because Hillary's coverage and the polls and the people who I have yet to meet who say they will vote for her does not add up.
