TPMtv: Flip-Flop in the Wilderness

Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Our question of the day: if a flip flops in the wilderness but no one hears, did it really flop? Or in other words, if a news story like John McCain's recent shift in position on troop levels in Afghanistan doesn't fit in with the dominant narrative of the campaign, will any news organizations pick up on it?

The MSM continualy gives Mc Dumb a pass on all

his idiotic mistakes. The man suffers from dementia Maybe McCain would get the additional troops from Czechoslovakia ?

It's not even the negitive aspect it's the fact that they are blatantly biased even though they project an air of fairness.

In fact I would be happy to hear all the negitive crap as long as they were Fair & Consistant but they are NOT, they are very selective in their reporting!

The International Media Cartel is little more than a Lobby Platform for the wealthy.

This has been the struggle from the earliest days of humanity and it continues!

I like how they bring out the negative side of a candidate without showing favor to either side!!!!!!

Thank you, TPM, for giving us straight talk on the "not so straight talking" John McCain.

Thnx TPM! Keep up the good work.

If the past 8 years have taught us anything, it's that presidents can act independently and screw the nation up. McCain is a threat to repairing the damage done by Bush/Cheney and for continuing the policies that got us here in the first place.

black and endowed with a huge member / basketball skills? Probably.

[JackWhistle]

Umm.. veto's.

[kryptonsean]

because Lord knows McCain's adds have been lauded for there factual accuracy. No wait, nonono sorry, I meant laughed at on a regular basis for gross mistatement or outright lies. I'm all for intelligent debate, but it should be over the facts

we DID ignore Pearl Harbor, (not even a State then) and we ARE ignoring 9-11, an event whose magnitude woudl NOT have been carried out by a bunch of idiots, not to mention that 6 of them a STILL alive in Saudi Arabia... hell, we ignored the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, which was admitted as a lie, why not these?
