I know it's the NYT, so its going to swing liberal, but I'm really interested in analyzing how "the media" has been covering the debate. A lot of articles I've been reading seem to make excuses for the President, while playing down Romney's impressive performance. I have mixed feelings about both candidates and I was sad to see Obama fail in such an embarrassing way, but it irks me to see people say things like "it was the altitude" or "he was preoccupied with other things." Is it possible he just messed up that night, or was simply outmatched? I don't know.
But I think this article is slyly biased and a good example of such coverage.
