Really? As Matt Yglesias points out , it's pretty clear how the media should treat these ads that they know to be dishonest. Use them to accurately create a pattern of dishonesty by John McCain's campaign. If Obama was putting out lies about McCain, how fast do you think the media would figure a way out of that "conundrum"? It's not like they have anything else to do here... Full Story »

Darn, wish I could have seen some of these antics by the reporters on MSNBC, but I always watch C-Span. It's ridiculous there are nearly three times as many news creeps as delegates at the convention. Talking heads is exactly what they are. This is a good story and have felt that several people on MSNBC are not completely beyond the pale. Mainly Olbermann and perhaps Rachel Maddow as well. None of the mass media are being honest or Obama would be way out in front of McCain. It's disgraceful MSNBC is running the putrid ads put out by the Repugs. Those Republican idiots have probably never heard of Joseph Goebbels or perhaps they wouldn't have chosen "Ministry of Truth" to describe themselves. General Electric owns MSNBC and NBC and they donated 1.1 million to Bush in 2000 and God knows how much in 2004. Scarborough is a disgrace to journalism and Chris Matthews isn't much better. At least the quasi-Nazi's on Fox are true to their disgusting owner and CNN is even worse because they pretend to be honest. Tom Brokaw praising John McCain is outrageous. They are both losing their marbles or already have.
