Wrap Up- September 21-September 28


September 21-September 28 11:30 p.m.

USA Today is still emphasizing the candidates’ plan for coping with the financial crisis. Looking back on past articles, McCain received much more positive coverage at the beginning of my observation. With the financial crisis came much opposition to McCain’s stance. Even though USA Today reports that Obama clearly won the debate, I have still noticed a great deal of positie remarks made about McCain,sometimes in unexpected places. Many stories have focused on Obama's DIFFERENCES. And yes, he may not fit the description of the typical, well, every other president. Many individuals are talking about these differences. Of course, he is man of color, and that is an obvious to the naked eye, but is the media making him out to be more different than he really is?

I have still not found any groundbreaking partisan bias, although I currently believe McCain is being presented in a more positive light.

Top Issues:
1. Presidential Debate
2. Financial Crisis
3. Religion
4. Race- factor in Obama's campaign?
5. Education
