2. Media Will Ignore Them - Remember Stolen Honor? |
|
Edited on Sun Apr-20-08 01:00 PM by Median Democrat
John McCain has a whole McMansion full of skeletons in his closet.
1. Marital infidelity? Check. 2. Abandoning first wife after she was disfigured? Check. 3. Savings and Loans scandal? Check, Keating scandal. 4. Rich and Elitist? Check, married to heiress. 5. Privileged? Check, elected in 1982 with no prior experience in public office.
However, the media will ignore them. Remember the 2004 election:
1. The Septemeber 11 Mocumentary that blamed Bill Clinton. 2. The refusal by ABC affiliates to televise reading of names of American war dead. 3. The Stolen Honor Documentary televised by the Sinclair Broadcasting network.
The irony is that Hillary Clinton is standing by the sidelines accusing Obama of complaining about the debate questions posed by ABC. The truth is that ABC is not really doing her a favor. If Hillary was the Democratic leader, the debate would have been peppered with questions about Marc Rich and Bill Clinton's relationship with Frank Giustra, and Frank's substantial contributions to Bill's foundation. Instead, we were treated to questions about Obama sitting on some board with Ayers.
So, finding McCain's skeletons is like shooting fish in a barrel. The problem is that mainsteam media is going to ignore them, and instead focus or create stories surrounding the Democrats. You could, of course, run a Stolen Honor documentary of McCain that asks why he should be accorded war hero status if he was simply captured. Stolen Honor would ask "Where is the heroism?" However, Republicans and Democrats are according different treatment by the media.
