Of course the media is out of control. Ever heard of "the washington bubble"? Well there is a definite "media bubble" as well. Those inside it simply lack the perspective to see how much they skew.
For instance, why in the middle of March was CNN running the banner "Should Hillary Quit" all day long and doing nothing but entertain the notion that it was a valid topic of discussion? Larry "older than dirt" King dedicated hours and hours to this red herring topic. Were they blind to the fact that it swayed voters, or were they actually complicit in it? The choice is either incompetence, or an active role in anothers campaign. I can say that because I'm outside the media bubble. I'm sure they have no such perspective since they and others aired such nonsense for months. Hillary was still winning huge and yet they still seemed to think "Should Hillary Quit" was a valid subject. Where was the "Should Obama Quit" banners and days on end topic of discussion? He was losing 8 in a row and yet we didnt hear that once. Not once.
You cant rely on any single source of news, you have to view and read the ones you like, and the ones you dislike and come to your opinion which is usually somewhere down the middle.
Of course you wont hear the media take apart the "100 years in Iraq" except for pointing out that he was referring to occupying the country such as we do in Germany, Japan, Korea. What they FAIL to point out is that such policies are 60 fucking year old thinking! And those were wars with real "enemy's" where things like the Geneva protocols applied in full. Not this pseudo civil war. McCain rails against Rumsfeld for mismanaging the whole thing, and yet doesnt say we should get out quickly. Welp, thats a stamp of approval to me, but does the media phrase it like that? fuck no. It would upset the status quo.
On McCain- Dole.. I'm betting that one day, McCain is going to stumble and fall on camera and he's going to be pinned with "too old" to the point where polls show 60% to 40% for Obama. It's gonna happen, stay tuned.
