      The articles talks about the altitude of the two vice presidents during the vice president debate  It describes Mr. Joe Biden as someone who doesn't show good respect toward his opponent - his determination to win the debate has been shown by his unrelenting aggressiveness, onslaught, disrespecting, repeatedly interrupt --> more negative  On the other hand, the article describes Mr. Ryan as a person who fight valiantly with a good closing statement --> more positive  Even though the headline seems to favor Mr.Biden --> it actually emphasizes the bad temper of Me. Biden  --> bias toward Republican

      Very biased
  • Her failure was compounded within the hour when she told a fellow CNN anchor that Romney was actually right, she just thought his specific word choice was wrong.

  • But when it’s even a close call, a real-time fact check seems way out of place.

  • And Romney was right. Obama had used the words “acts of terror,” to describe bad acts around the world and throughout recent history, but certainly hadn’t called Benghazi a terrorist attack. He called it a spontaneous uprising spurred by a Web video that was exploited by radicals.
  • The real challenge for the president last night and for every day from now until Nov. 6 is to make Romney an unsuitable replacement. That has been Obama’s central campaign theme and it is too late to change course.

  • on Romney rather than on his term in office
  • With 20 days to go, Romney looks increasingly plausible and voters remain unhappy with the condition of their country. The “kill Romney” strategy hasn’t worked, and the president is almost out of time
  • “For Obama, the bar is rather low.  He just has to string a few sentences together coherently to make eye-contact with a single sentient human, and show the slightest animation in his face.  I think he can do that and he will be ahead of where he was and might win on that basis alone.”
