Summary

Our take: The Washington Post tackles emails from its readership about being too one-sided on the presidential candidates. Patrick B. Pexton, from The Washington Post writes his response:

"Republicans think the news media are being too easy on Barack Obama. In fact, 60 percent of them say so, a figure that's up from 55 percent four years ago, when Obama ran against Sen. John McCain. That's the conclusion of a poll conducted Sept. 20-23 by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

This finding reflects the e-mail I receive from people who identify themselves as Republicans and conservatives, and even from some independents and Democrats, who say The Post is too easy on Obama."

The Post is liberal. Don't expect anything positive on Romney.

Too bad, but many people don't have the cognitive reasoning to see past it, and will believe anything the Post prints.

This is news? The President's press secretary couldn't be any more biased than the Post.
