I don't know about you, but I love finding evidence of the mainstream media's bias. Often overlooked, are the photos that newspapers choose to print. During Reagan's tenure, editors always managed to find photos if him eating, or sneezing, that type of thing. They've printed some photos of George W. Bush squinting, yawning, etc. Anything to make him look goofy. On the other side of the spectrum, the Obama 'Halo photos'. Check them out:

You're right, the mainstream media is biased. If they were fair and balanced, there'd be "halo pictures" of John McCain and George Bush.
Oh wait.....there are.

Zach, oh might one, you are not the mainstream media!!! Not even close.

It's not surprising you'd fail to see my point.
It's easy to proclaim some sort of media bias, but as I've clearly shown, those "halo photos" exist for more than just Barack Obama.
Nice try though.

Yes, the Left, once castigated for being a bunch of amoral atheists, has converted to evangelical Christianity (in particular, the variants of millenialism, dominionism, and others that desire to immanentize the Eschaton) and now should be castigated for almost acting like they think Obama is the Messiah. Gosh, isn't it crazy when acolytes can find no flaw with their leader? I can't wait for Obama to tell us that he thinks God is on our side, that we need to oppose all those others who are not Christian!

Obama is not an Evangelical Christian, he worships Black Liberation Theology. HUGE difference.

Oh, I'm not talking about Obama. I'm talking about all those lefties who have switched to Messianic Christianity. Follow the logic: This means all the Marian cults will start to worship Michelle now, too.

Wait a dang minute, Doug. How can he do that and be a Muslim, too? I don't think you've thought this through.

Remember Obama was a Muslim. Now he found God, not Allah, with Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Grumps, he's a secret Muslim. You can tell by the middle name! Outwardly, he thinks he's the Messiah, which is why he's always trying to put himself between a photographer and circular objects. He's flip-flopping, just like Kerry. Follow the logic: Those lie-berals, they're all the same!

Thanks, JF. Do you know what secret middle names go with secret Rosicrucians? There's a guy at work whose middle name is Floribunda and I'm having my doubts about him.

Well, Rosenkreuz's first name was "Christian", but that's just too ridiculous to suggest, given the circumstances here. A man's got to have limits.
