What a laugh!!   If anything, the media seems to be overcompensating for what a lot of people saw as excessive adulation for Obama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They keep giving this nincompoop a pass, when he commits gaffes and tells outrageous lies.  It is obvious that a lot of people failed to learn the right lessons from 8 years of George W. Bush.  I have always heard that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.  THAT IS WHAT WE WILL GET IF THIS MAN BECOMES PRESIDENT!!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">anniemae</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jul 2008 08:55:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Liberal Watchdog Challenges Anti-McCain Media Bias</title><link>http://washingtonindependent.com/389/liberal-watchdog-challenges-anti-mccain-media-bias#comment-1790921</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Liberal Media Bias?  I think not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     John McCain just blew off speaking with thousands of minority&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;journalists at the Unity '08 National Convention in Chicago all the while&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;complaining he's not getting nearly enough news coverage.  With all these journalists losing out on a great opportunity to meet with and write about&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the man, could it be they might be looking for something to report, a story&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to investigate?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     Feel free to forward the following "news tip" to them.  We can kill&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;three birds with one stone - take mainstream media to task for not giving&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;voters  coverage on the full McCain, bring attention to a health issue&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;affecting many veterans, and give Senator McCain the level of news coverage&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;he craves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     Now, some in mainstream media even have the gall to question whether&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;these minority journalists will pander to Obama because of race, while&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;disregarding their own consistent record of filling us full with stories of&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McCain's war 'hero' trials and tribulations without giving us the full story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     Journalists within the old school mainstream media indulge themselves with&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;numerous articles on his status as a POW,  inform us each and every time one&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;vet speaks out about the torture of John McCain, even going into great detail&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;about the types of torture and the number of years the man was tortured. Yet,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;it never enters their minds to ever ask the obvious question - "Could the man&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;running for the highest office in the United States of America, a job with&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;incredible stress, possibly suffer from PTSD?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     Google the general web with the words 'mccain ptsd' and over one half&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;million hits will appear.  Most are articles by veteran groups having to do&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;with McCain's lack of support for veterans and his actions to shut down the&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MIA/POW investigations, while many others discuss the very real possibility&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;he suffers from PTSD.  Now go to Google News section and enter 'mccain ptsd'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     To be fair, google the entire archive.  Out of a grand total of&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;approximately 80 hits, you will be lucky to pull up one or two articles&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;addressing this issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     Google the news for 'mccain mole' and you will find over 600 mainstream&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;media articles updating us on the hour about a simple mole removal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     As you can see, there is NO media coverage questioning whether John&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McCain may suffer from PTSD or perhaps LOSS.  They are more than willing to&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;write about the details of  McCain's torture but not the probable result of said torture.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">msswin</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:10:48 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
