Jackie Kucinich, Peter Baker, Fred Francis and Howard Kurtz discuss how media outlets called the election for President Obama.
Now more than ever, the press is a part of every story it covers. And CNN's "Reliable Sources" is one of television's only regular programs to examine how journalists do their jobs and how the media affect the stories they cover. Host Howard Kurtz is the nation's premier media critic, and each week he questions print reporters, television correspondents and Internet bloggers about how the press is covering the major stories of the week.

A more pertinent question would be: How did the media affect the election?
We saw quite different coverage from the media when it came to Obama and Romney.
statements made by Romney were blown out of proportion by the media while controversial statements were explained away by the media by saying: What the President REALLY meant was...
Contrast the coverage the media gave to Bush and Katrina compared to Obama and Sandy. Despite not too different of responses by both Presidents, the media went after Bush mercilessly, while telling us now how wonderful Obama was.
