The article punctures the myths that McCain has developed over the years based primarily on his loyal following among the press. It reports accurately the facts of McCain's background, some of which have been misstated or obscured by campaign spin and the McCain family media management. For example most people don't know that McCain cooperated with North Vietnam's anti-US propaganda campaign, and may would actively deny that he had done so. Cindy McCain has also gotten a free pass from the press, which long repeated her (false) assertion that Mother Teresa urged her to adopt her Bangladeshi daughter, and used a double standard in its treatment of her theft of drugs from a charity she supported. Had a single black mother done the same thing as Cindy McCain, she would probably still be in prison. Moreover the MSM seems to have forgotten exactly what happened during the S&L crisis, when John McCain interfered with the regulatory process on behalf of Charles Keating and even introduced legislation on his behalf. As a number of recently disenchanted journalists have noted recently, John McCain is not the man they thought he was.
