drew,
The answer to the question is that they do say negative about him. I know on this site this is not the popular answer but have you watched Fox news lately and maybe he has done a lot that is very good, for six months being handed an economic debaucle by bush I think he is doing well and getting fair media, I know the religious right and the neocons think he is getting a pass but he is not. Watch fox news for 15 minutes and msnbc for 15 minutes and see who is getting the worst news, obama or palin, just a thought. Oh, and Joe the plumber is an idiot that deserves bad publicity as he used an honest answer to get his 15 minutes of fame.
