Mainstream media is starting to realize the money train has come to the end of the line. Its time to start earning their pay. Far too many Americans chose to ignore facts, for too long. It was easy to watch the spin, it made them dizzy, it was like an amuzement park, they were making money and dizzy all at the same time.
Well that ride is over, they stayed on the ride too long and may now loose their homes, their jobs, their security. SAD!

I find it, disappointing that a true war hero like John McCain would stoop so low as to lie in a political election, while the "main stream" press is too cowardly to call him on it.

Liars don't win - necessarily. The thing is, Americans are growing weary of being deceived as it is costing them in the pocket book, in the quality of life, in so many ways they don't even realize but nonetheless feel every day.
Just don't let the Rip-ublicans get away with it.
Film, conduct exit polls, sign petitions for action if "offical" election results don't jive with exit polls.

What was it kids used to chant as part of their
folklore: Liar Liar, pants on fire. They even grew up
and made a movie out of this concept for Jim Carey to star in. One of Rod Serling's classic black & white
series, the Twilight Zone, has an interesting story of how a used car salesman was cursed to tell the truth too.That photo of not so great grampa says it all.Current should forward it to SNL in New York City to expose McSame. I bet Tina Fey & Allison would have a field day with this guy. Dey do Run,Ron. Dey do dufus. - 3 years ago

Unfortunatly the "liberal" media doesnt report this, instead they talk about the hard working and caring Palin alllll day.
They do this in every election, really sickens me.

Poor Sarah, everyones picking on her? We should just move along, McCains campaign is not lying they are skirting the truth?
Okay never mind, if they are skirting the truth, it must be true, they arent lying. They are trying to make people unable to recognize real facts from skirted truth? Makes no sense does it?

The artical is titled, and this is copied directly from the link: AP Accuses McCain Camp of Outright Lies
mcBush is a drug addict. He looks and acts like a drug addict. He is receiving some special cocktail to keep him going and looking somewhat healthy - no doubt it includes steroids.
Have you noticed the movement of his arms? He's got really strange upper body movement. Watch him.
Like Adolph Hitler, the use of an elixir takes its toll on the human body pretty rapidly - hence the choice of a lap girl - I mean lap dog like palin' - to be a stooge for continued Cheney / Rove / Rumsfeld takeover - occupation of the United States.
Desperate animals they are for fear of prosecution - this is why it's become an any thing goes campaign for the Ripusofficans - of course it'll fair.
This could be the very end of the Ripusoffican party altogether.

The site that the link goes to retitled the story inaccurately. Search for the story, every single other site and on the AP site it has the correct headline that accurately reflects the wimpy approach the writers took "Analysis: McCain's campaign claims skirt facts as strategists watch voters' reactions". It's too bad the AP is unable to say "lies", but claiming they say something they don't is dishonest, whether it's this posting or the site linked here.

The actual headline of the AP story is "Analysis: McCain's campaign claims skirt facts as strategists watch voters' reactions", which is an accurate reflection of the story's contents. The headline here is a distortion of what the story says; it never says "lies" it says skirts the truth. I am as much of an Obama supporter as anyone but it doesn't help anyone to play the same game as McCain's campaign is playing.

Im sorry, but skirts the truth is untruthful. Symantics? Skirts the truth? What kind of crap is that? George Carlin would have had a field day with that one. McCains not lying, hes skirting the truth. I trust him now? NOT!
As a candidate, I want the "Whole truth and nothing but the truth". Lets wait and see how much Keith Olbermann donates to charity? Keith Olbermann offered $100.00 challenge to keep them honet. Im sure hes going to keep track. If it gets to expensive for Keith to pay, im sure others will donate to the cause. Keep them honest!
If mainstream media had not skirted the truth, we would not be in the situation we are in today. Some call it spin (distorted facts). FACT -- Skirting the truth is spinning to mislead.

I agree the AP headline & story is pretty wimpy, but to me that's the point. The story does not say he lies, it fails at calling his stuff what it is, failing again (regardless of their motives, I happen to think they're just scared). It's fine for anyone to call McCain's ads and claims what they are, but it's deeply ironic to claim a news story says something it doesn't about McCain's lies. There's enough distortion going on.

For any fans of the Penn and Teller show, they call their show "Bulls**t", because you can't get sued for swearing at someone, but you *can* get sued for calling someone a liar.
The AP would only use the term "Liar" if they had McCain absolutely dead to rights, and it would be bigger news than the AP pointing out that McCain's ads are "distorting" facts.
In any way, that's my two cents on that.
Still an interesting story, thanks for sharing.

Lies work on lazy people.
America is comprised of a very large population of lazy people.
It is a brilliant campaign strategy to offer no information on policy and bombard mainstream media with lies.
It will win the republicans this election.
Watch and see.

Had people done what they swore to do, they would have held George W. accountable for lying to us after taking the Oath of Office.
Its not a crime for a candidate to lie. They have not yet taken the oath of office. But, once you take the Oath of Office it is criminal for our President to lie to Congress or the American people.
Former Prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega wrote a book, "United States v George W. Bush". In her book she walks the reader through 7 days of Grand Jury testimony, using readily available FACTS! One would have thought someone would have read the book and realized, George W. should be held accountable. Its no wonder John McCain thinks he can lie (distort facts), our sitting President has done it, with no accountability. .Nothing to see here, move along.

I can't wait to see all the white folks vote for Obama and win big, then you fake Americans can cry about the media being biased against you, quit lying and they won't put you out there like that, tell the truth something Republicans can't seem to do. Enjoy seeing a red blooded Black American take office, Oh and don't forget even if you don't like Muslims that makes you a bigot. You are suppose to respect Race, Creed , Religion and Sexual Preference, because no one group of people make up America, we are called the Great Melting Pot for a reason, stupid.

The problem as I see it is that the Republican Party is filled with a class of fools who are unable to see how they are being manipulated into thinking the sky is falling (first mistake) and that the nominated moron of the Republican Party will save them.
At least the Democratic Party doesn't necessarily believe one person can save the world. We think we all have to do are part.

John McCain believes by punishing the press, he will get the spin he wants. Its time for our press to stand up and stop the spin with facts. The American people are watching. Fact and spin are not equal, the truth is out there!
John McCain refused to appear on a scheduled broadcast of Larry King Live, to punish them for Campbell Brown asking one of their representative a question he couldnt answer. She challenged the spin he was spinning and John McCain punished the station for doing it.
