Why are the cable nets giving so much time to McCain
and none of them are noting or correcting his lies.

1. Because he is the REAL President.
Just as soon as they prove that Obama is not a citizen, and pitchfork crowd will install McCain as President, and... Sarah Palin as VPOTUS. And then John gets 10 days in office before someone shoots him.

2. Why is this still a question?
Not to be too much of a smartass, but it's as if people don't remember who owns the media.

NBC/MSNBC/CNBC: Owned by GE

CNN: Time Warner

CBS: Viacom

ABC: Disney

Fox: No need to bother


Remember that MSNBC invited Tom Delay to Hardball last week to dump on Healthcare reform. Why? Because he got back in the news for joining "Dancing With The Stars".

Any time there's an excuse to give a Republican a soapbox, the Republican-controlled MSM uses it.

5. Because they are almost all owned by huge evil monopolies.

6. Because their corporate masters are desperately trying to turn back time.
They don't realize that they have already lost the battle for the majority of American's hearts and minds.

Young people and the middle-aged voting bloc are much more likely to get their news from sources they trust on the internet these days.
