You make sense. My first reaction was that no ads coupled with the MSM's blatant disregard for reporting the truth seemed like a bad move. I hadn't thought of the "My-name-is-John-McCain-and-I-didn't-make-this-ad" ads.

Not only that, but when was the last time that a person from Washington did anything statesman-like on this scale? Suspending a presidential campaign six weeks before the election is huge and should garner massive amounts of respect.

But as I said earlier the MSM machine will spin this to be anything but what it truly is. Patriotism.

Let ‘em spin! And I do mean as in “Hang ‘em high!”

At this point, the MSM is almost completely irrelevant except as a foil for the true public debate.

The only people who haven’t gotten the memo that the MSM is known as biased is the MSM. So they’re still bleating as if they own the scoop.

Wrong. At this point in history, the Legacy Media functions as just one more voice in a cacophony of media voices. My point is that the LM no longer speaks unopposed.

So let ‘em spin and get the pushback they so richly deserve, that’s what I say.
