Why are there no news reports on Sen. Biden?

Since Gov. Palin was picked as Sen. McCain's VP candidate, there have been countless attacks on her in the media. I think the only reports I've read about Sen. Biden since he was picked by Sen. Obama have talked about where he's campaigning and what he said. There's been no negative press on him that I've seen. Does the disparity between the coverage of Biden and Palin mean:

A) Joe Biden is perfect - he's never done anything negative to report?

or

B) The media is biased against her - out of sexism and/or for political reasons?

(Some might argue that Palin is newer on the national scene and needs more public scrutiny, but I'd respond that few Americans know much about Biden other than he's a Democrat senator from a small state.)

Doesn't he deserve national attention and scrutiny, too?

    People are more curious to know about someone they have never heard off in that case Sarah would be the perfect example or Obama when he started to rise in the democratic race for the white house

    Just want 'til he says something asinine, Then you'll see plenty of coverage. Remember this little jewel:

    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

    I still chuckle about Al Sharpeton replying that he took a bath every day.
