With Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin receiving some return fire from the media for their criticism of the press, it's interesting to note that they are not alone in criticizing the media at this point in the campaign cycle.

In an interview with the New York Times Magazine, Democratic candidate Barack Obama lashed out at Fox News Channel, accusing it of portraying him as an "arrogant liberal" and making people not want to vote for him.

"I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls," Obama told liberal journalist Matt Bai.

And he's not? Fox calls them as they see them. Thank God for FOX. It's the little FOX that spoils Obama's vine.

I am not a fan of Fox News... Never watch it.. ever.

But..

This is lashing out?

Fox leans away from Obama... so... that would tend to have SOME affect.

There are other channels that lean against Obama... that has SOME affect.

If what he said is lashing out against Fox I would think it would be more that he said that all of Fox's efforts only cost him 2 or 3 percent. LOL

Maybe if the media were really doing their job, he'd be down about 8-10 points.
