Completely "Fair and Balanced" as always on Fox.  They used McCain's commercials to bash Obama, therefore they mentioned both candidates.  Kind of like when Hannity sat down with Johnny to spend half an hour critiquing Barack.  See how it works?

McCain, during this campaign, has made his friends his enemies and his enemies his friends.

 

Anyone remember this?

Yeah, because who John McCain is or isn't friendly with has all kinds of relevance to what Media Matters posted, doesn't it?

Posted the fact that there was a DNC counter punch earlier. Not to be selfish, but MMFA is about two hours two short on this.

This is pretty funny. Wasn't it just , like, yesterday that the corporate media/GrampyCamp was complaining about McCain's voting consistency with bush ,a few years ago ,being noted was out of date, even though he's been going along with the GOP program just as consistently on the latest issues?

, the fact of the matter is, John McCain is the most -- the strongest Republican candidate you could possibly have in an election cycle where the Republicans should have no right to even consider a victory

Puhleeeze!  Go back to what you do best, Geraldo - missing white girls, murder cases, and other tabloid trash.

Rivera's commentary is as empty as Al Capone's safe.

Geraldo is back tot the tabloid stuff. I caught him tonight, and he's sputtering so much about Edwards that I'm guessing Geraldo must have a love-child somewhere (just going on the history of GOP hypocrisy).

I posted recentl that I thought energy would be the Repubs. grab for the stoopid vote-- convincing the dopiest part of the undecided center that opening up more drilling leases to the oil companies would lower gas prices. This was contested by posters with more faith in the intelligence of the American voter than I have (Prince of Wheels, for one, I think), but I may be adjusting my position;

Whils I'm still trying to have enough faith in my fellow Americans that McGrampy shouldn't have a chance,the current media focus is making my confidence pretty tentative.

An also -ran for the Dem nomination(and possible VP candidate) messed around on his wife, just like the GOP nominee.The Dem also-ran confessed and reconciled, the GOP guy dumped his wife.The media is zeroing in on the Dem.

There's another similarity with the energy issue; the deal-closer for the Repubs is to frame a completely emotional issue as a commom-sense, rational issue.Abortion becomes "Roe V. Wade was badly written law", Gay Marriage turns into "an assault on the traditional definition of marriage".

I've already heard Fox news (specifically Geraldo Rivera) ginning up all sorts of campaign money/ tax issues around the Edwards affair.Grampy McCain's marital history wil be ignored, Edwards' will be scrutinized under the guise of ethics and nuts and bolts details.
