Yahoo Bias? Obama: 81 McCain: 35

I often see Dems shun the idea that there is any media bias, so for fun I did my own little flawed "research." Yahoo is my start-up page, so I tallied every article I saw on McCain and Obama since May 12. Obama had 81 articles w/ him in the title; McCain had 35.

My favorite? "After Obama, fist bump catching on as new trend in U.S."
