It was posted on Ustream so I viewed it online. I still need to blog about my thoughts on the whole thing, just no time.

I automatically assume that the US media will at least attempt to be unbiased in their reporting, just as I expect the BBC to be unbiased reporting about UK politics. I didn't watch the US commentary of the inauguration (my Wife DVRed it, and watched highlights), so perhaps the US coverage was just as biased.<BR/><BR/>But did they have the blankets? ;)<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your goal, by the way.

I think this Presidential election the US Media has been more bias then ever. Fox News tried to keep John McCain off the Republican ticket, but once he was nominated where biases towards him and particularly his running mate. While basically everyone else was bias toward Obama, it was sad seeing how they turned their back on Clinton in the primary(but also ironically funny). <BR/><BR/>I wish our new President the best and hope he makes wise choices.40 Somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043211073677783970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531149316869318805.post-11554235226011970482009-01-20T19:28:00.000-05:002009-01-20T19:28:00.000-05:00I would have enjoyed it more with the BBC commenta...I would have enjoyed it more with the BBC commentary. Of course there were no comments about Bush and him being unpopular at all from this end. Oddly enough, I was recording it to a dvd (my first time using this contraption) for my sister and her son, who is also half black, and I would not have watched this ceremony if it were left up to me.<BR/><BR/>I'm really happy that I did watch it. But the commentary was pretty inane here in the US....might have been better without commentary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
