As soon as word got out that Sen. Barack Obama would chose Sen. Joseph Biden as his running mate, a "news analysis" written by AP acting DC bureau chief Ron Fournier declared that the choice reflected Obama's insecurity about his own electability. Fournier's article echoed a point made in Sen. John McCain's attack ads: that Biden himself had said that Obama lacked experience, especially on foreign policy matters.

As the 2008 primary season ends, the news media has come in from plenty of criticism for its perceived biases and lapses in coverage of the candidates. According to some observers at BlogHer and elsewhere, the coverage of Sen. Hillary Clinton has been consistently sexist and unprofessional, while coverage of Sen. Barack Obama has been fawning and dishonest. Meanwhile, other press critics complain that Sen. John McCain has had a free ride.However, a recently-published content analysis by the Project for Excellence in Journalism, Character and the Primaries of 2008, offers what appears to be some contradictory findings.
