Newsflash: the media are all stage props.

Another straw on the camel's back that is the MSM's tolerance of McCain et al fucking them up the ass at will.

I think the McCain campaign has really overplayed it's card with the media. It's gone way overboard, attacking, swinging wildly.

While most democrats are starting to panic, I think what we're seeing is the real time implosion of the McCain campaign.

They didn't vet Palin, and now she's so popular with the base they can't dump her. But all the real scandals would turn swing voters, so all they can do is obfuscate, obfuscate, obfuscate. They are hoping for an Obama meltdown, which as we all know won't happen.

And the pres is turning on them.

What an outrage!

Ms. Couric needs to be told in no uncertain terms to clam the hell up and follow her RNC-dictated marching orders, like any other respectable member of the MSM.

The lipstick on a pig comment was not about Palin, it was about McCain. How about a McCain faced pig with lipstick?

What am I missing here? The Ad was supposed to have been taken down by YouTube but I clicked on the link above and the ad played.

This is what in chess is called a power play, on my own view I think Obama played it wisely in referring to the "lipstick on a pig" remark, you see that on hockey too, it is also called rope-a-dope, if the Obama campaign knew he was losing they would have replaced their senior advisors, but Obama camp knew that they like to play with stupid phrases so he put it out there, McCain camp takes it out of context, Media gets fed up with all the lies, and at least there will be more scrutiny on McDepends and Ms Alaska(Bimbo) at least word is that they are liars is out there.

No doubt mccain though with good reason he owned couric after she dubbed in an answer to cover up his Anbar gaffe.

Sick burn!

Katie Couric is worse than a stage prop. The media have made themselves worthless. Down with infotainment. Up with journalism in pursuit of the truth.

"Not rope-a-dope. Head fake.

Also for those soccer fans, remember the Spain 1982 Worldcup
Brazil, Argentina, Germany were the favored ones to win,
but Italy ate their lunch playing the "catenaccio" or padlock,
they just defended piled all their people on defense, opposite teams defense got tired, played all their moves, and when most of their team was on offense, wham! italy went forward and beat them all...!

She's been a stooge of the Censored Bull-Shit network's push for McCain for a while now.

She just noticed?

OK, here's a strategy, I don't think Katie Couric would do it, but I'm sure the Wilson sisters of HEART would. Since the McCain camp seems not to care about using the intellectual property and implied endorsements of other people, AND they have a fixed amount of money to spend between now and the General Election - all that is needed is for HEART or anyone else whose celebrity has been used without their permission to get lien put against the McCain campaign for $87M until the end of the campaign.

Our entire MSM is conflicted. Nepotism.
Revolving White House/MSM jobs. Deregulation for
Rupert Murdoch. Totally Corrupt

Delmoi:

I wish you were right, but to assume most Americans are as well-read or intelligent as our group is incredibly wishful thinking. My parents live in Texas and they still think Obama is a secret Muslim. Scary but true. The polls and trend lines are against us now and these attacks, ridiculous and unsupportable as they are, are working.

Very lame statement by CBS. They shouldn't have bothered if that's what they were going to "do" about it. What they did sends a clear signal to the McCain campaign that it's well worth their while to pull that kind of crap, for all it will draw, if it draws any criticism, is the mildest slap on the wrist which no one will pay any attention to. Which I am sure is exactly what their people knew would happen when they decided to pull this.

Ok Joe - then what is your point? Why are you here telling us that Obama is losing? Why?

What's the objective?

I don't know what campaign you've been watching the past few weeks, but it's been pretty obvious that the Obama campaign and DNC have been flustered and off their game for a while now.

"I don't know what campaign you've been watching the past few weeks, but it's been pretty obvious that the Obama campaign and DNC have been flustered and off their game for a while now."

Really. Well, I'm watching the campaign where the Republican is being called dishonest, dishonorable, unstable, whiny and evil by mainstream journalists. Now that's change you can believe in.

Here's some of the incoherent drivel that the McCain camp is being forced to spout:

"The more the New York Times and The Washington Post go after Sarah Palin, the better off she is, because there's a bigger truth out there and the bigger truths are she's new, she's popular in Alaska and she is an insurgent," Feehery said. "As long as those are out there, these little facts don't really matter."

Who's flustered?

Golly. Any chance that Karl Rove slapped this ad up for his peeps?
Looks like Rove. Smells like Rove.

Hustler: one whose tactic is to hold back at first and let others underestimate him, until they have foolishly made themselves vulnerable.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustling

You walk into a pool hall, see just a single pool player solitairing with indifferent skill, and decide to play him a game.

"Let's make it interesting," he says, "and play for cash." You agree, figuring on easy earnings.

Amazing how much better he got, once you were in it for the money.

Friend, you just got hustled.

Why doesn't CBS do what several rock musicians are doing: sue for copyright infringement when thier properties are misused, as in this instance they are used to lend credibility to a lie?

Jackson Brown is suing BOTH McShameful AND the RNC for use of one of his songs without permission of the copyright holder: Jackson Brown.

"So there, Mr. Monday Morning Quarterback. So there, Mr. Wheelchair General." -- Firesign Theatre.

In the abstract, anyone can sue anyone for anything. Even if one isn't guilty of the charge, one must defend against it. And defense lawyers cost a lot of money too. However, McShameful and the RNC certainly didn't ask Liberal Jackson Brown for permission to use his music to advance their anti-Liberal campaign.
