Why did it only take one (poorly done) press conference for the MSM to drop the McCain Sex scandal

[ecstatic]

There were no endless clips.

There were no endless pics.

There wasn't even a deeper investigation into the deals Iseman's firm gained on the account of her having McCain in her back... panty?

1. He told reporters he wouldn't take any more questions, the Republicans

AND the media villified the NYT, they all closed ranks to protect him, and the matter was dropped. Even though it had merit.

8. And so it goes...

Even the NYT just dropped their own story. Meanwhile - McCain's spiritual advisor Hagee makes Wright's inflammatory rhetoric look positively rational, and not one peep about that either.

9. It's so infuriating

:mad:

I wish I was a billionaire.

I would shut Fox News down entirely and set up a News network that held all repugs up to severe scrutiny.

2. The sex was a red herring . . .

The deals were business as usual.

Move along folks, nothing to see here.

3. Because the press is gonna do what they did in 2000 and 2004.

4. Those who want Hillary know you cant use sex to attack her opponent. Race is another matter.

And when I say those who want Hillary, I'm also including those who want her to "win" the primary but dont want her to win in the general.

5. that would be a rather pertinent question..

or impertinent, given the "whore's press" that does the GOP's bidding...

[better tomorrow]

6. Maybe they will bring it up in the General Election. In the meantime if you need a fix.....

10. I speculated at the time

that it was a fake scandal just to make the MSM look "fair and balanced" before it turned the big guns on Obama/Clinton.
