I mean we diss the MSM a lot, but never like this. I know Limbow likes to blame the "liberal media" for everything and the conservatives eat it up, but aren't they just begging for the MSM to stop giving McSame a free ride?

It just doesn't seem like a great tactical move.

1. What's interesting
Is they say left wing media, but they'll never come out and specifically identify just who the left wing media is. If I was one of them, I'd have pulled the plug on convention coverage and showed some alternative programming.

2. In the past when the GOP has done it the MSM sucks up to them
But they will overplay that tactic, and see it backfire eventually.

When will the MSM grow a pair and stop letting themselves get bullied is the real question.

3. You're right there
They have a tendency to grow very timid when bullied.

4. If You Listen To MSNBC Post Convention Analysis They Seem To.....
have taken offense to the snipes at the Media. Brokaw mentioned it. Williams read a blog from someone from Time Magazine (I think). Bottom line Media didn't like being told to back off - and they won't. McCain and the Repugs might have just gotten too smart for themselves on this and shot themselves in the foot.
