Well, to be fair, that's not exactly what I said. I was disappointed that Obama had so much momentum coming out of the primaries, but I didn't say it was a media thing. It was a combination of a bunch of factors and, unfortunately, the Republicans never overcame that.
ETA: As a former member of said media (and staunch Conservative), I'm not going to say that the media "anointed" a certain candidate. Maybe I'm a bit of an idealist in that regard, but the point remains...
