I don't think it's simply because his father's Muslim, but what it means that America
could elect a President with that heritage. There is certainly a tendancy to support the person "like" you, especially when you don't have as much of a stake in the winner.

There are some people who should get the lesson from that and apply it to their own perceptions. Like those who think that all Muslims think the same way *cough hint cough*
And as for the media, as much as I like the BBC for example, they have their own bias too.
