I could be mistaken, but I don't think ANY of those particular news outlets had anything to say about McCain's eligibility. And those that did (NYTimes, WSJ, Washington Post), they ran stories about the Constitutional question, but those stories were all pretty heavily on McCain's side.
After McCain handed over the info,
McCain didn't hand over any info.
In June 2008, they asked 0bama for the same information, once it was clear he would have the nomination.
This is wrong in two respects. One, because McCain didn't hand over anything, Obama couldn't have been asked for "the same information." Two, while a few in the media did ask Obama to produce a birth certificate starting June 9, the COLB was posted on June 12, and every rational person in the media was satisfied.
And has a spent $2.9m to keep people from getting the information
Except he hasn't. Like Tex said, that's a made-up number. Really, a 10 second Google search would have shown you that's wrong.
FYI, McCain did privately show his long-form BC to a Washington Post reporter.
