Dear main stream media

Your job is to inform the public.  Throughout the history of this country (since before it was a country, actually), you have been charged with the task of informing the public.  Although today you certainly make the public aware of goings on, you do so with a bias; I find this bias to be unacceptable.

Tonight's Super Tuesday election coverage was an absolute disgrace.  Throughout the night you made known your choice for a Republican presidential candidate.  Despite polls clearly showing a victory for Mitt Romney, you continued to put off projecting him the winner.  Regardless of his 14 point lead with over 80% of the precincts reporting, you chose, instead, to allow the totals to accumulate until you had no choice but to secretly put a check next to his name and bury him under the state totals for John McCain and Mike Huckabee.

If you looked around any of the news sites this evening, you saw a clear slant.  While everyone was enthralled with the Hillary-Obama showdown across the country, attention was diverted from the GOP race: the main stream media having already declared McCain the victor (a few days in advance, no less).

The interesting thing, however, is that it wasn't just Mitt Romney who did better than expected.  Mike Huckabee wowed pollsters, too.  Of course the effect that Mr. Huckabee will have on Sen. McCain's overall delegate count will be played down as producers all across the country attempt to portray Mitt Romney as the day's loser.  Instead, we will see phrases such as "Huckaboom II" plastered throughout the network sites, left-center leaning blogs and liberal daily newspapers.

While I'm not asking anyone to embrace a particular candidate, I am asking for fair coverage and treatment of all.  At the very least, it should be done out of respect for the voters
