McCain went in with strong support from the press– he was the Republican that Democrats liked, after all. They cut him huge slack they wouldn’t give Hillary, for example. Therefore, if he lost the media, it’s his own fault. He cut them off, lied visibly, and selected Sarah Palin.
That’s the game, folks. Managing the media is an old, old game. You can’t do it, you’re nailed. The so-called MSM has given Bush a pass for all eight years, or we would have impeached the son of a witch as he deserved.
