If a reporter gets dispatched to cover the election and impressed by McCain and not impressed by Obama are they not being fair and balanced?

If a politician gives a bad speech or has inadaquate stances on issues or just doesn't have the better solutions how should that be reported?
I'm not sure what you are looking for Bling?

If someone is reporting the news, they should tell it like it is and don't embelish or exclude anything based on thier feelings. The media should not have an agenda, when they are reporting and covering news.

Now, news analysis is different. News analysis or an editorial is opinion. Express an agenda there and that's OK. Freddy
