When John McCain and Barack Obama started running for president in 2007, they were two of the most universally liked and respected politicians in America — men who even members of the opposite party saw as decent, unifying characters — and neither inspired much loathing.
That was then.
Now, partisans deluge reporters and editors with e-mails and vent on blogs about why the media is suppressing stories about one candidate or the other.
The unwritten Obama stories supposedly concern his Americanness: They raise doubts about his birth, his citizenship and his patriotism. The unpenned anti-McCain stories go to the quality he's made central to his career: honor. They suggest that he's used foul language to his wife and that his military record isn't what it seems.
