I didn't mean to imply that the 'Rottie' is in the tank for McCain. :) Forgot to add that Emperor Misha at the AIR despises McCain almost as much as he does Obama.

I read blogs ranging from the daily Kos and balloon-juice to Riehl world view and the Anti idiotarian rottweiler, and they all complain that the MSM is biased against their particular candidate and can point to specific examples of such bias. My purely unscientific viewpoint after such exposure is that the MSM is primarily <strong>lazy</strong>, instead of biased. It takes little effort to pass off a press release as 'news' compared to digging up the dirt and finding real newsworthy tidbits, and like most people they go after the low hanging fruit instead of digging up the real news.

The Obamessiah would never stand for that!</blockquote> The problem with using negative ads is that they drop the intended beneficiary as well as the one who is being attacked. The art involved in using them is making sure that your negatives increase at a lower rate than the target's are. Can McCain's people pull it off? Possibly, but going negative so early isn't a good sign.

I thought you liberals were all "love one another" types? TW - I keep hearing Romney or Jindal. I would be more than happy with either. BobG - Hell no! Trek - Most newspapers are failing nowadays. And after stories like these, I take immense pleasure in their downfall. RT - I left the duct tape in the tool shed. DesertSage - No it won't. The liberals won't believe it, even when the proof is staring them in the face. TW - He's not. Trust me. DesertSage - Again, he's not. AJ - But the clothing should not contribute to global warming. Jim - Obama is all for the Fairness Doctrine, too. I wonder if he'll apply it to the newspapers and the nightly news. Signs point to no. Randal - Did we have the election already and no one told me? Glocksman - Yeah, we can't have negative campaign ads in a political election. The Obamessiah would never stand for that! Bawahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Randal – So, you’re an ageist?

From reading both pieces, it's a fair criticism though I can see how one would disagree. Frankly, McCain should go on the offensive and highlight just how he'd be different from Obama WRT foreign policy (where Obama's weakest), and from GWB on domestic policy (where McCain himself is weakest), instead of launching defensive negative ads that only serve to remind people of just how weak a candidate in total he is.
