It is almost 100% sarcasm. Actually, the media almost never tells the truth, especially during election time.

So then your first statement is sarcasm, right?

The media did the same thing shilling for Bill and Hillary in 1992. The only way I found out about Troupergate, Whitewater etc. was through shortwave radio (Radio Free America, For the People, since there was no internet).

Basically, the MSM got Bill and Hillary elected by not reporting their scandals and by the exaggerated reporting of republican scandals. In 1998, I chose my screen name as an obvious sarcasm.

An MSM staple is to overplay any disagreement, no matter how insignificant, among leading Republicans. The left-leaning Brit media covering the US election is happy to follow the lead of their American counterparts.

“Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character”

No such thing as an honorable defeat little Mac. You’ll be the joke, the popular moderate who was thrashed by that unqualified left-wing guy cause he refused to call him unqualified or left-wing.

Woah, what the heck is this.

“McCain’s allies responded by suggesting that she had her own pastor problems”

Doing Obama’s work for him? What the hell?

Should McCain win Palin should begin her 2012 primary challenge at once.

The MSM is reporting that “they” hear this BS at rallies for McCain/Palin. What bothers me is that why isn’t a camera turned on these people and played ad mauseum on the TV? Where is the video?

Maybe because if we saw who was saying this stuff we would find out they were Obama plants.
