Hypocritical John McCain - In His Outrage, Shouldn't He Fire Ricky Davis and Charlies Black?
John McCain is out there demanding the "firing" of Chris Cox, and blaming Obama for the financial crisis bacause someone who worked for Fannie Mae happened to also be black. Why isn't the MSM asking John McCain why isn't firing Charlie Black abd Ricky Davis, who specifically lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack against increased regulations, thus they perhaps bear even more responsibility then anyone associated with the campaigns?

This is Big Media giving John McCain a free pass again. They repeat John McCain's baseless charges that somehow Obama helped cause the financial crisis (kind of like McCain's claim that Obama caused higher oil prices), but Big Media ignores the obvious, and does not ask why when railing against lobbyists and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, McCain does not simply turn around and fire Ricky Davis and Charlie Black.

2. What About Big Media's Free Pass? No Questions?
The only thing I've heard on Big Media is the McCain commercial tying Obama to some dude from Fannie Mae who is not an Obama advisor. If the media was fair and impartial, McCain should be answering questions and explain why it is okay for him to have Charlie Black and Ricky Davis on his campaign staff. We understand that John McCain is a lying hypocrite, but it is so freaking obvious that Big Media should at least go through the motions of asking John McCain the question.

4. If Big Media Were Not Biased, It Would Be Like Shooting Fish In A Barrel
I don't see any media out there hitting McCain for Ricky Davis and Charlie Black. Likewise, has anyone asked McCain why in his long career, and his experience in the Keating 5, that he has continued to push for deregulation as late as March 2008?

5. Why, no, of course not...
Hypocrisy is part and parcel of the Republican party. If you started ostracizing them for that, they'd have no-one left to run!
