McCain and his media

Harwood: McCain ‘Has Benefited From Very Friendly Press Coverage For Many Years’

During a discussion of the possible presidential general election match-up between Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and John McCain (R-AZ) on Meet the Press this morning, John Harwood — CNBC correspondent and New York Times political writer — said that the McCain campaign is already “trying to work the referees in advance” to argue that Obama gets more favorable media coverage than McCain.

But Harwood noted that some would find McCain’s strategy “ironic” because the press — whom according to Harwood were McCain’s “base” in 2000 — have been “very friendly” to McCain over the years.

Wow - do they really think that anyone other than the ultra-right-wing loonies think that Obama gets more favorable press than McCain?!
Do they mean the press that has gone ape-shit over Obama's ex-preacher but has been all but silent on McCain's bigoted preachers that he has sought endorsements from?!
I guess it's all part of the repugs regular strategy of lying enough and getting the media to report on all of their lies so that someone eventually thinks that the lies are true. It is especially ironic when they get the media to report their "biased media" lies!
