You’ve got to be kidding. This will also backfire. These pieces only help McCain.

Remember how back in the 40's & 50's kids believed what they heard on the radio and TV? Think "Christmas Story" here, and the Lil' Orphan Annie Decoder Ring. The left took over the MSM back in the 50's, expecting everyone to believe - and it worked! For 30 years it worked like a charm, then some people began to see what they were doing. Print, TV, Media and producers of all kinds joined to shore up the walls and keep control of the information. Then, in the 90's (thanks to Reagan) Talk Radio came into it's own and began to have some influence. By the mid-90's, the internet was beginning to have some impact. Today, nearly everyone who wants more information has a chance to research online. The 'market penetration' of internet access has grown hugely even since the 2000 election. Like the kid finding out that Annie was just advertising, Americans in huge numbers have realized that the MSM is also advertising - trying to get us to buy their far-left agenda. Today though, we have access to alternative sources of information. The internet is changing the face of politics, as the NYT and other can no longer get away with leftist smears. The average person has become more savvy about how the news world works, and they have friends who email them information. Even while the NYT will continue their 'hit-of-the-week' pieces against McCain, I think their value has been DE-valued by the laissez faire nature of information on the internet.
