Death of a Meme: The Media Loves Obama
Pressed —
You call this an attack ad? Showing remarkable desperation considering how much time remains until the election, John McCain's campaign has assembled a three-minute video of clips that ostensibly prove the political press is "in the tank," as the saying goes, for his opponent, Barack Obama. Watch:
McCain's campaign says it will let supporters vote on the best version of the ad and then air the winner on TV. But there are so, so many reasons not to do that, starting with this one: It makes McCain look pathetic. This is why we're supposed to vote for ...

Gawker —
John McCain made a pair of not-bad ads mocking the schoolgirlish moments of pundits talking about Barack Obama. Sure, it was hypocritical since McCain's no stranger to favorable press — he famously joked that reporters constituted his "base." Also politically dangerous for the same reason. But if he gets away with tweaking the Fourth Estate it's because he offers the kind of access other pols don't.
