This timeUnited states electionsOne of the most controversial topics was the role played by the media. The mainstream media in the united states almost side by side supports obama. For more than a year, the media have shown two kinds of attitude: acrimony to obama and criticism of mccain. It would have been contrary to the principle of impartiality and neutrality in the press, which was openly biased. The biased position of the press in the united states presidential election constituted an unnatural election landscape in the united states, as well as political farces。
Until polling day, some united states newspapers, such as the new york post and the new york daily news, were able to post news of obama's victory as the new owner of the white house ahead of time and on the front page called obama the “new boss”。
Moreover, the new mexico sun in the united states announced obama's victory a week earlier. The next issue will not be published until 8 november, several days after the elections, because the newspaper is distributed every other week. The editor of the newspaper thus explained their choice: “everyone wants to announce first to the public the winner of the presidential election, so the new mexico sun is honoured.” no wonder the biographer mark salt called “media bias” destroyed mccain。
The u. S. Democrats seem to be very good at media manipulation and use the big american media to influence the world's perception of the election. During obama’s 21 months in the general election, the american media became obama’s aid group. According to an authoritative study, united states media coverage of the presidential election was uneven, favouring more of the democratic presidential candidate obama. Over the past two months, 65 per cent of voters, journalists and moderators of the three major united states broadcasters — abc, cbs, nbc — broadcast on evening news programmes in favour of obama, while 31 per cent of mccain。
Earlier, studies had shown that since the end of the bipartisan national congress, the story about mccain had been dominated by negative news, while that about obama had been mixed. In the run-up to the general elections, the mainstream media in the united states, the washington post, the los angeles times and so on, published editorials that explicitly supported obama as president. Obama is a hero to the mainstream media in the united states: non-white race, bottom start, fresh ideas, fashion, talk。
In fact, the u. S. Media's impatience to publish the results of part of the earlier vote could give psychological hints to other voters who did not vote, contrary to thisFair competitionPrinciple. Another electoral scene that unfairly interfered with the parties ' fair campaign was the fact that the results of a partial pre-election had been made public before the formal vote on 4 november. Even the former so-called obama’s leading news is an electoral tool on obama’s side, in violation of the principle of fair competition. (source: guangzhou daily)
