McCain's ultimate success or failure will be determined largely by how the MSM presents him in the next few months. Will his pandering to AIPAC and neo-cons trumph previous imbecilic statements? Can the MSM owners spin the truth once again to further their foreign policy agendas? the story unfolds.......

I just hope the AIPAC respond in a responsible manner and view his statments as those of the minority.

Is she delusional?......or does she still mathematically have a chance?

These same "Corporate executives" get their marching orders from the owners. It is these owners that require closer examination. The question that needs to be discussed is ...

Why did the entire MSM promote the war? and the answer can not be just profits.....it does not hold water.

Slimeball Joe could not care less WHY Hagee supports Israel....Hagee is a convenient and willing tool that helps Lieberman's not so hidden agenda.

It is exceedingly difficult for the media to monitor our presently immoral leadership when the preponderance of control/ownership of this media is represented by similar special interests. We need to examine why this singular special interest perpetually gets priority in Middle East policy, as reported by our "free press".

...that the World Press covers this story, but the U.S. Press chooses to ignore it. I really would like to know WHY ??????

I can regularly laugh at the right wing neo-con slop that permiates the airwaves and press....but blaspheme Rachael, that is where I draw the line!! She is precious.

This slime ball appears wherever there is money and or power.

He epitomizes everything that a civilized world abhors.

Harry Ried.....isn't he the leader with the backbone of an angle worm? He typifies why the Democrats need to stand up to the unquestioned Middle East policy we are stuck with.....or they may face a viable third party in the near future.

It gets tiresome to read and hear how Lieberman supports America by identifying its enemies. He remains the quintessential "wolf in sheep's clothing". His true allegiance is hardly veiled. He is nothing more than a stealth neo-con.

One does not know who to believe. Has the Israeli Press been above board in the past? Is our own MSM under major control of the neo-con agenda? Good Cop/Bad Cop reporting seems a possibility.

The owners/contollers of the MSM have found the Christian Right Wing as willing soldiers. Neo-Cons merely use the Religious Right as pawns. The issue not discussed, is the agenda that the MSM keeps pushing...and why they are pushing it.

I wonder if Hillary would show the same courtesy? From the sounds of some of her supporters, that might be doubtful.

Spot on!

Well written.

Is it a surprise that "W" is pandering to a self righteous entity? In American politics, it is tragically the "safe bet".

You can bet it will get a lot of print.

"...courtesy to finish"....."abandoned"....????????

How about "delusional support"?

Don't these people realize that it is time to consolidate support for the only viable chance to defeat the pro-life

zealots? Prolonging this primary only weakens the Democratic

Party's chances. Now is the time for reality, not some politically correct derived altruism.

Unfortunately, Friedman is but one of many expelling this Neo-Con drivel. Just how much media power do these people have?

Let us hope that the public will be able to challenge this fear mongering.

Could there be any questionable intentions behind Schoenfeld's

predictions? This neo-con drivel is getting frightful, as well as tedious. How long will his ilk receive a get out of jail free card?

Assuming McCain's intentions are honorable, one is left with the conclusion that he has lost his grip.

It will remain a difficult proposition for the American People to expect "truth in media" when it appears that the neo-con agenda, the military, and the MSM are all controlled by the same power brokers. This present day phenomenon of single interest reporting is devastating.

Another reason that a major segment of the American public feels there is not a major political party that respresents

them. Will the Dem's ever get a clue?????....or are they under the same influences as the Republicans ??????

It is getting scary. Russert no longer even veils his subservience to the hidden agenda of the MSM. Has this

nation really fallen victim to a single minded Middle-

East policy?

I am so relieved the economy and the war are independent

of each other !!!!!

I was getting worried.

Based upon some of the vitriolic comments, I hope these brave supporters have some protection.

Glenn, thanks for keeping this story alive. No matter where one resides in the political spectrum, this is a BIG story. Perhaps it is time for the American people to get the information about who really controls/owns the MSM, and find out why there seems to be a unilateral presentation of news about the Middle East events. We only have a free press if there is open discourse in the Major Media, where the vast majority of Americans get their information.

Few media outlets other than Salon will even cover the story.

What Kurtz has done is to make me ask the question...."does the MSM truly have an agenda to deliberately ignore the problems of Iraq ?"....and why ?

I think we all hope that the American voter will see through this hate mongering and vote for the interests of America, first. This goes for Hillary as well as McCain. Am I wrong, or does it seem all of a sudden the mainstream press is ganging up on Obama? I expect McCain to use such tactics, but Hillary is also tickling the tail of the dragon.
