Great post, Glenn.
Not only do the press view McCain as a very Serious Expert on Foreign Policy, they also see him as an affable, down-to-earth candidate with a certain knack for making BBQ ribs...
I don't think that journalists are really that stupid per se . It doesn't take much to understand that McCain can't be a defiant maverick and yet be a strong supporter of the Iraq war and fear-mongering arguments of the Bush administration. Journalists are just insecure and use mob psychology tactics to create media hype. Then they tell us that is how "the public" feels. That is, after all, how the press makes money.
