As the presidential election is starting to come to a close, it the popularity of the potential candidates has become increasingly important. Recently, studies have shown that republican candidate John McCain has continued to be seen in a negative light throughout the compaign. ABC Senior national correspondent, Jake Tapper writes , “In many ways, the arc of the media narrative during this phase of the 2008 general election might be best described as a drama in which John McCain has acted and Barack Obama has reacted."” (Tapper) Overtime this has continued to be the case in the presidential election and will be interesting to see if this negative view of McCain will change at all as the complain comes to an end.

Throughout the presidentiala compaign it is clear that the media has deffinatly shed a negative light on the republican party. Whether reporting on Sarah Palin or John McCain, the media has continued to make jab after jab. On the other hand the media has not been as harsh on the democratic canidates , Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Although the stabs at John McCain and Sarah Palin are quite frequent, it is important for one to question whether the reporting on both sides or that both sides are being evenly reported on, or in this case, negativly reported on.
