McCain campaign is making the ultimate mistake....
When you go to war against the media, and you have no basis for doing so, you are going to lose.

They control the agenda.


If you deny them access to Palin for too long, they will write about her anyway. Without your counterbalance.


“Never pick a fight with a man who buys his ink by the barrel.” --- Mark Twain.

2. I think so, especially since they've covered for him for so long
They liked McCain so they let all his gaffes go. Does he really want people critiquing what he actually says? Not good for him.

4. They're all in it together. The corporate media want McCain
elected. Have you ever seen them bridle over Republican accusations of America's being dominated by the "liberal press?"

The Merchants of Death who own our so-called free press will continue to do whatever they can to help McCain win, and they will be there to cover-up our third stolen presidential election in a row, if necssary.

6. I think the "Maverick" going down in HUGE flames that you can see from space
will make for some pretty good ratings! :)
