Wow! The MSM is beginning to take on its patriotic duty!

Yes. I saw that yesterday, actually --> Fact Check: False. It was an easy check: Palin quoted the NYT and if you read their article you'd know that Obama doesn't pal around with Ayers.

I think the Media have been very unhappy to be denied access to Palin and to have McCain avoid them of late, to boot!. They are mad and that helped them fall off the tree and start "seeing" and "calling" what has been obvious for a long time.

They are fed up and they're turning on McCain.

CNN did....what??????

McCain / Palin and republicans won't be able to escape the realities of their policies over the last two or three decades. Their chickens have come home to roost and will crap the place up for sure.

Voters won't remain apathetic over this. The market meltdown has gotten the attention of most every voter all across the country. This is making people take a harder look at what has happened and to try and ferret out the reasons. It isn't all that hard if you take the time to actually look to understand the genesis of all the mess. It will fall on republicans and bury them on 4 November. The misdirection of the McCain / Palin campaign will only make things worse for republicans. Voters will realize the tactic is just a means to obscure and to avoid having to discuss and possibly justify the republican record. Republicans know they can't have that discussion because of how thorughly they have screwed things up. The Bush and McCainmobile is screaming downhill with the brakes out. The crash at the bottom is going to be horrendous. We have to hope the collateral damage isn't too severe.

The McCain campaign sacrificed one error for another in choosing their vice presidential debate strategy last week. In hopes of trying to put a band-aid over the Sarah Palin problem and save her from making a complete fool of herself, the choose to have her continue with her Republican convention speech/Hannity interview infomercial and totally blow off Gwen Ifill and having a true debate. They went on the attack on Ifill who is pretty much unanimously agreed to be a journalist of impeccable credentials and very well liked.

Blowing off Ifill who was trying to do her job as debate moderator and help American voters get a real look at Palin made the MSM see that they and the people they try to inform were getting an honest to goodness slap in the face. And by the disrespect they saw coming out of the McCain campaign and amplified through the right-wing hate machine via Drudge, they saw a good person and fair journalist with the best intentions in mind get bludgeoned for political purposes.

She also attacked Katie Couric repeatedly in public. Katie-f-ing Today Show, lovable sweetheart whose husband died of cancer, Couric! Couric was doing her job and rose above expectations (even of the McCain campaign who like their fantasy of a Charlie Gibson "Barbara Walters-like" interview were looking forward to a fluffy Today Show type happy piece).

If the McCain campaign will not come clean and will keep Palin sequestered unless in a friendly infomercial environment or rage field right wing radio nut defender, they know that they are going to actually start doing some real work in the final month of the campaign. McCain has gotten off incredibly easily and has gotten a pass that Obama has not.

Palin and the McCain campaign showed journalists that they don't have to be the New York Times bad mouth, kick and violate. They will go low enough to beat down anyone if it serves their purpose. Attacking Couric and Ifill was the equivalent of taking a puppy and a bunny and gutting them in front of children.

They media is alright if political camps are beating up each other, but when they start going at them as McCain should know since he wrote about it in his stupid mavericky book, then they're in a lot of trouble. MSM get fact checking.

I am glad to see that CNN shows it can have a "fact check" that does look at the substance of the charges made by Palin. The charges were false and made up by Palin and McCain. In fact, Obama was 8 years old when all these things took place. And is has been stated and proven that Obama does not have a relationship with Ayers. The charges made by Palin about Obama shows the character of Palin and McCain. The cable networks and press are afraid to confront Palin about any campaign policy or about herself. Palin hides behind the word "sexist". As a woman there has not been any "sexism" done in any way towards Palin. There is enough corruption in her time as governor 18 months)(. If I remember right now there is an investigation being done in reference to her influence of a firing of a person in her administration. She and the McCain campaign have tried to stop the investigation, but a federal judge has ruled that the investagation go fourth. This shows that both her and John McCain have no ethics and constantly lie about Obama because they are behind in the polls. I am glad that the public outside of her supporters of the far right side of the Republican party can see Palin and McCain for what they are.

It would be a great day if someone in the MSM asked Palin about Troopergate (why didn't Ifill?) or, assuming they are no longer allowed questions, talked about it independently. Unless the Alaska Supreme Court is bought and paid for (possible, it's Alaska), Friday will bring some bad news for Palin.
