Free The Press! McCain’s “Grace Period”

Dis grace ful

Washington Post’s Balz: Media will scrutinize McCain ‘once the general election really begins.’

Wash. Post’s Murray: ‘Just wait’ until after the primaries for media to scrutinize McCain.

Russert: ‘In Time,’ McCain Will ‘Receive The Same Scrutiny’ From The Media As Obama And Clinton

RUSSERT: We get flooded with e-mails, Senator McCain making a mistake on Shia versus Sunni, making mistake about the first Persian Gulf War and the second vis-a-vis oil. His own relationship with Pastor Hagee and why isn’t that talked about and reported on the way Reverend Wright’s relationship with Senator Obama is talked about. But all that in time. I mean, it is only May. This has been going on for some time but it will be a long, long campaign. And when Senator McCain is back in the media’s light, he’ll receive the same scrutiny.

uh-huh

  2. McCain gives better BBQs.

    The press wants a western White House. They like the resorts nearby McCain’s wife’s ranch.

    Come 2009, the Democrats may control the House, they may have better numbers in the Senate, but if things continue as they have been this year — McCain will be in the White House.  

  3. For a kickass answer, check out mizbeena’s personal example as an American Muslim living in NY after 9/11.

    It was posted on ePluribus Media tonight as part of Aaron Barlow and Annie Seaton’s “Race and the New Media” project.

    What is Discrimination?

    Here’s an excerpt:

    ___

    As an American Muslim living in New York, who respects and admires the teaching of Islam, I must say that listening to various radio stations, shortly after the attacks, while callers filled the phone lines venting their anger, spitting “We need to kill them all!” and “Throws all those damn Muslims out of this country,” labeling the religion as “a bloody, bloody, brutal type of religion,” completely took a stab at my heart, brought tears to my eyes, and broke my peace of silence.

    Not bad for a student, eh?

  4. that theyre pretending he’s a viable candidate to keep the election coverage numbers up….in their annoying, self-perpetuating way…

    i kinda makes you wonder what the post-analysis after the first of the general election debates is going to sound like, doesnt it??  and i say ‘first’ optimistically…the more debates between him and ANY dem, the better….

  5. This image encompasses McCain, Bush and the Bush Republicans pretty solidly — the “Mission Accomplished” banner reflects their penchance (sp?) for misrepresentation, the cake — which they left uneaten to melt in the AZ sun after the photo-op — represents their arrogant wastefulness, and the actual superimposing of their meeting and posing with cake while Katrina victims suffered and died represents their sense of “duty” and misaligned “responsibility”…

    Image composition by me and barracuda.

    (I added Chimpy and McSame, barracuda added the “Mission Accomplished” banner.)

  7. in the misty, murky future?  Meanwhile McHypocrite can help Bush abuse the troops, legalize torture and spying on Americans, etc, without the press saying a word about it, right?  Ah, it’s good to be a republican candidate, with a right-wing dominated “press” corpse…

    The Davos set is ready for whomever gets to be next pResident.

    The sophmoric “debate” which currently passes for a serious political campaign reads like a poorly written daytime soap opera, at least to me it does.

    In this case I want an old senile incompetent idiot in the whitehouse rather than Obama who is the favorite son of the globalists.
