Media Bias? No Media Bias here folks.......

Last Friday, a CBS News affiliate in Phoenix, Arizona flashed the graphic above showing President Obama beating Governor Romney with 99% of the precincts reporting.

It only appeared for about 17 seconds or so, but unfortunately for the folks at CBS, 17 seconds is an eternity in this technology era.

Only problem, it is two weeks before the elections……………Doh!

Now I am sure that they will try and spin it by saying that they were just “testing” their news crawl for the upcoming election, but let’s face it, their bias come through brilliantly. Arizona isn’t exactly known as a democratic enclave and current Rasmussen polls show Romney as a 10 point favorite.

But whatever their explanation, it appears as if this is their "Dewey Defeats Truman" moment.

Kind of makes you wonder why CBS news perennially finishes in last place when it comes to non-cable news ratings.
