McCain: Press not all bad after all

NYT—It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama’s piece. To that end, the article would have to articulate, in concrete terms, how Senator McCain defines victory in Iraq. It would also have to lay out a clear plan for achieving victory — with troops levels, timetables and measures for compelling the Iraqis to cooperate. And it would need to describe the Senator’s Afghanistan strategy, spelling out how it meshes with his Iraq plan.

Media telling a presidential candidate what to say? BS

I must say that I felt that CNN, for the most part, was pretty fair in it’s coverage of both camps during B. Hussein’s Mideast/European honeymoon. Surprise, surprise.

I was unhappy that Fox News gave the Obama trip more footage than CNN did. Very disappointing.
