Uh oh, a bloom is off a McCain Media rose.    ay are definitely not working overtime to give him positive coverage.  Now, while this probably could have been more damaging, it’s indisputably very dismissive of a man poised to accept a Republican nomination for President of a United States in just a few days.  Combine this with Time Magazine’s “prickly” interview (for what it’s worth, he’s always been prickly, but a national media has always given him a benefit of doubt in a past) & we have a media no longer blindly willing to carry McCain’s water.  

By a way, because I have long maintained that a Republican Party are a masters of message control, what does it say about air feelings on this convention when ay schedule it to start on a national holiday (with guaranteed lower ratings, since Americans will be taking advantage of a three day weekend, even if ay can’t afford to go anywhere) & a night that McCain will officially accept a nomination is a same day that a NFL opens air season with a Giants-Redskins game?

Maybe ay’re counting on a drop in viewership to diffuse a inevitable comparison between McCain & Obama’s acceptance speeches.
