This is what I just sent Dan Abrams via this link

Your NBC political director Chuck Todd yesterday on Meet the Press said, “ You know, he's -- because of the age issue, he can't ever look like he's having a senior moment. So instead, he's better off going ahead and saying, you know, OK, so he misspoke. Even if he gets dinged on the experience stuff, "Oh, he says he's Mr. Experience. Doesn't he know the difference between this stuff?" He's got enough of that in the bank, at least with the media, that he can get away with it. I mean, the irony to this is had either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama misspoke like that, it'd have been on a running loop, and it would become a, a big problem for a couple of days for them.”
Will you please address why the media continues to excuse McCain for such a major error on understanding whom the enemies are in Iraq and the different sects in Muslim religion and continue to claim McCain has more expertise on foreign affairs and is the most deserving to be commander-in-chief. The coziness between McCain and the media has put him in a protection bubble that is denying the American people the truth about him and his policies. The media failed to do their job and made the tragic invasion of Iraq much easier to pull off.
If the media are not called to task on McCain, we may next have to address why the media brought us an attack on Iran and continued oppression of the Palestinian people. McCain and Lieberman were in the Middle East to support Israel and bring us more of the major problem Israeli government policies continue to pose for peace in the Middle East. That is why I am going to start calling McCain, Johnny McSame, and why the great majority of the media deserve the name, McShame, including Chuck Todd.
