Having the MSM in his corner is worth at least $100 million in fundraising for McCain
Watching the hosts and guests catapault the GOP propaganda (as usual) on the morning gasbag shows while Democratic surrogates tried valiantly, but in vain, to rebut it with facts and logic reminded me of 2000 and 2004 all over again. From today: Obama reversing some "agreement" he supposedly made to take public financing is a shocking betrayal of principles while John McCain reversing himself on drilling offshore is simply a shrewd calculation based on reality.

I'm gladder than ever that Obama didn't take the public financing.

1. I think it is at least 3x that.
Every news show, every talking-dead show, contains multiple minutes of unpaid in-kind donations to the McCain campaign in the form of direct regurgitation of published RNC talking points as if they were objective news.

Level playing field my ass.
