Once again, the media has decided that character issues when they relate to Republican candidates are not nearly as important as they are when they relate to Democratic candidates. Despite the fact that even conservatives and liberals alike concede that “Senator Hothead” has quite a temper on him, Hardball’s Chris Matthews dismisses it away as if it is nothing.

Department of Veterans' AffairsDisgusting: In San Francisco federal court Monday, attorneys for veterans' rights groups accused the VA of nothing less than a cover-up - deliberately concealing the real risk of suicide among veterans.
It's become clear to just about everyone that the American media aren't informing them or helping to sort through difficult issues in the course of this presidential campaign, and are instead focusing on the trivial, the silly, the truly insignificant, as though these kinds of effluvia constitute the reasons why we vote.

But there’s another way to look at it, which no one in the press seems to have considered. Maybe “Iran is training Al Queda” is McCain’s way of signaling that he intends to pick up where Bush and Cheney left off in discarding the whole reality-based approach to policy-making. That’s when you plant dubious associations in the public mind, and you don’t care if you get called out on them because an image is left on the retina, so to speak. By demonstrating to the press that you can say false things, never correct them, and pay no price for it, you dishearten reporters and make their efforts appear futile to themselves. Reporters should be on the lookout for this from McCain. It’s got to be tempting for him.Sphere: Related Content
