Leave it to a British news source to lay out the dirty laundry of the US corporate press to inform its readers about the perfidy of the American media. The US author candidly spells out a story of frustation engendered by a candidate being hounded endlessly by the US MS creating and promoting a fake furor. It would be interesting to see if this piece or something expressing the same sentiments has ever appeared in any local news source in North Carolina. What the British may not realize, furthermore, is that the hypocritical US corporate media are also totally ignoring the fact that Senator McCain has deliberately chosen to pander to the Christian Right by embracing two fanatical "reverends" (Hagee and Parsley) who have been far more controversial and more wildly outspoken over a very long period than Reverend Wright has ever been. And add to that the fact the McCain flip-flopped himself about Jerry Falwell in speechifying "reconciliation" at Falwell's Liberty University. The British media would far more likely to expose all the candidates' campaign faux pas and dirty tricks than would the US corporate media - - which has been engaged in a duplicitous game of deceiving the US public and secretly boostering their favored candidate by committing the journalistic sin of omission.
