Still more media stars admit there is a pervasive pro-McCain double standard in their coverage.
  • Pandering, uninformed or senile?

    McCain may have just mixed-up his standard red-meat applause lines to the GOP rubes with what he's supposed to say when in the "reality-based community." He's been pandering so hard it's easy to see how might get confused -- the man's 72-years old, after all.

    It'll be interesting to see if the M$M is as forgiving (since he has no comparable domestic policy "bonafides") when he serves-up these laughable Republican staples:

    * The Bush tax cuts went primarily to the middle class and need to be made permanent

    * Tax cuts increase government revenues (despite record deficits)

    * Social Security should be privatized

    * Exploitive private health insurance companies are better than a national health care system
