The corporate media actually seems to be calling McCain on some of his BS
I heard Tweety and some others call him out on his flip flops. They also said Barack doesn't need to do the town hall meetings McCain is calling for because he is the front runner. Tweety actually stated that McCain wants them to draw a crowd, which he can't do by himself, and because he is such a lousy speaker. It may not sound like much, but they are actually letting a little bit of criticism about 'the maverick" into their analysis.

Do you think it will continue?

2. MSM
The talking heads will continue to let snippets of McSame out as long as it looks like he has a chance to win. The instant that they determine that he has no chance, they will throw him under the bus and become Democratic supporters. Tweety is the best example of sticking his tongue into the winners ass as quickly as he perceives it to be the popular thing to do.

4. Whoa.
Didn't I hear that McCain snapped at her on the press plane recently? Maybe they're getting tired of his temper.

5. Oh really?! It was her he snapped at?! I did see him snapping at a female reporter, but you only
saw her hand.

11. Obama Ads should be...
a continuum of McCain flip-flops.

Save money on creative talent...just splice the +'s to to the -'s and air. MoveOn?

6. Tweety was helpful today
Edited on Tue Jun-17-08 08:34 PM by 27inCali
I think his anti-war stance is pretty personal and authentic because he never lets anyone slide with lame arguments in support.

He totally nailed to the wall whatever fucktard was on today trying to put the "100 years" comment into "context"

that was fun to watch.

Tweety may be a total dino, but he aint all bad.

7. Watch Olbermann tomorrow night...
another McCain Special.

And, CNN did a better coverage last night on the Gore endorsement than even MSNBC.

10. They'll go back and forth..it isn't about
facts with them..it's about ratings, manipulation and ratings. Whatever they think it takes but they're not very smart about it.
