McCain’s Campaign Loses It
In quite a remarkable outburst, reported by Politico, McCain advisor Steve Schmidt attempted to demonstrate how the media was not focusing upon the sinister nature of the Obama campaign, his method being largely to talk about how the media was focusing on all the wrong things and then telling them what they should talk about. Making all of the examples sound more interesting by lying about them.
If this is the form of relationship McCain will have with the press until early November it is hard to imagine him pulling off a win. Or getting an easy ride. Especially from on particular newspaper:
“Whatever the New York Times once was, it is not today by any standard a journalistic organization. It is a pro-Obama organization that every day attacks Senator McCain, attacks Governor Palin, and excuses Senator Obama,”
