If the media were pro-Obama...

We might see Clinton grilled the same way Obama was this past week. Questions such as:
"Given the fact that it has now been proven that the Obama campaign did in fact not contact the Canadian embassy about NAFTA, are you willing to apologize for running ads based on the allegation?"
"How do you respond to new allegations that it was in fact your campaign that told the Canadians to take your NAFTA rhetoric with a grain of salt?"
"Given the fact that NAFTA is an important issue to Ohio voters, do you feel that your victory in Ohio is tarnished by the false allegations against Obama that you helped promulgate?"
I've got some more where those came from, and they're below the fold.
"How can you claim a victory in Texas when Obama will likely win more delegates in the state?"
"Given the fact that your campaign cut Obama's delegate lead by less than 10 delegates on March 4, and those gains will likely be wiped out by the Wyoming caucuses on Saturday and the Mississippi primary on Tuesday, what makes the state of the race today any different from the state of the race before March 4?"
"Conservatives are doing the best they can to keep you in the race because they feel you're a weaker opponent in the general election. What do you think about that, and do you welcome the support of Rush Limbaugh's listeners?"
"Why aren't you releasing your tax records?"
"Do you really think it's fair to seat Michigan's delegates when you were the only major candidate on the ballot simply because you didn't comply with the DNC's request to withdraw your name?"
Those are a bunch of questions I think should be asked. Then again, if the media were pro-Obama, we'd actually see the media talking about how the results on March 4 were a stalemate, instead of every single major media outlet (like the Los Angeles Times) talking about how March 4 is heralding a Clinton comeback.
Wait a minute, I forgot something. Since everything I just wrote above is an incontrovertible fact, those questions wouldn't be representative of a pro-Obama media, they'd be representative of a pro-reality media.
Then again, reality has a well-known Obama bias.
