Unfortunately for your premise, there is convincing and objective evidence that the video media was strongly biased towards Obama. See this analysis of data generated by the Pew Research Foundation. Except for Fox, the ratio of "pro" stories about Obama vs. "anti" stories was far higher than the corresponding ratio for McCain.
