So I go into my local Borders...
I walk up the the Magazine section and I see this:

So, it was the DNC last week so I'm thinking it may just be due to that. I will take another picture this Friday and see what it looks like. Anyone want to bet some card cash that McCain is NOT on all these magazines this Friday? So, he is on Time for the 8th time, Newsweek, The Economist and Atlantic and his wife is on Ebony. Let's see what I see this Friday. Notice on the Atlantic that McCain is in the background.
I also love the Economists title, "The Hard Road". Yeah, must be tough getting your message out when you are on Time 7-8 times in 12 months. :)
Nope, the media is not in the tank for Obama. :)

And I turn on Laura Inghram for two hours, Bill O'Reilly for another two hours and Sean Hannity for three hours and listen to seven hours of Obama and Democrat bashing 5 days a week. Yeah, I see your point.

if you are even trying to compare conservative radio with "unbiased mainstream" magazines, then it shows you don't comprehend what is being discussed.

Obama on a cover isn’t a bias issue. Magazines are made to make money, Obama as a person is easier to sell, and you know this. They put the person or the story on the cover and report what will ever make them the most money. Stop trying to turn it into something it isn’t.
If you don’t like Obama because of his policies fine, but don’t hate him because he is getting more coverage. If you don’t like it ignore it.

I find something odd. When responding to claims of liberal media bias, the only examples ever given are Fox News, O'Reilly, Hannity, and Rush...compared to CNN, Headline News, MSNBC, CNBC, all the liberal anchors on those channels, all the magazines Obama repeatedly graces the covers of. By pointing out the one conservative channel and three conservative hosts (add 1 for Inghram this time) over and over again, you're only proving the vast discrepancy.

I can comprehend quite well, thank you. Sorry but it is the same. In fact I would think that more people are reached through the airwaves and over television than by print media.
Don't listen to MSNBC. I much rather know what the other side is saying. I know what my beliefs are.

As I pointed out once before I would venture to say that FOX alone probably runs a good race against all those you listed. And as far as the mainstream media is concerned, there are conservative magazines out there.
As I pointed out once before in the last year the National Review, that bastion of conservatism, has had Obama on the cover 9 times by my count, McCain 0. I guess we should all complain about his overexposure there, too.
