OMG!!! Obama’s half-aunt may be in America illegally! This irrelevant bit of material brought to you via a leak from the Bush administration and blared across the world by the Ron Fournier led AP. Or something.

Media For McCain News
So funny. If this is a prelude to the future, I’m going to love seeing the Obama folks smack Fox in the nose. Megyn Kelly: cute but crazy.
Reader S.M. caught this one.
NY Post has to remove story attacking Obamas because it was made up. Keith Olbermann is familiar with the NY Post’s tactics on this.
Matt Drudge tries to haul McCain over the finish line using bogus polls.
Rupert Murdoch & Co. are doing their damndest to win back this election for John McCain. But I don’t think it will work. This isn’t 2002 or 2004.
Goes to Ben Smith of The Politico (who, God knows, I have regularly given a hard time):
“McCain camp attacks Times, doesn’t deny report”
Of course, for the McCain campaign that is a feature, not a bug.
Just wondering. More here.
UPDATE: The AP uses “fumbled” as a nice way of saying “lied”.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Friday defended two debunked television ads attacking Democrat Barack Obama and claimed erroneously that running mate Sarah Palin never sought money for lawmakers’ pet projects as Alaska governor.
Palin sought $197 million in so-called “earmarks” for [...]
Today there is a story in the Washington Post, discussing the McCain campaign’s fundamental tactic of just lying. Lying about McCain, lying about Palin. If their lips are moving, they are lying. But while the fault does largely lie with McCain and the Republican party for making outright lies one of the legs of the [...]
Yes, lack.
“One of the things Wallace credits with FNC’s success is separation. ‘We’ve been very careful to keep our opinion separate. Our news division takes care of that,’ he says. ‘That’s done us well and I think that’s why you see these numbers. See, when Brit or Shepard Smith are on, that’s our news division [...]
Because people like Mark Halperin aren’t just grabbing coffee for people, they’re “senior” level correspondents. According to Halperin, the McCain has 7 houses gaffe is bad… for Obama.
You know that “this is good for John McCain” thing we Democrats have been joking about?
It’s not a joke.
I swear, I would go mad if the blogosphere had [...]
As if it weren’t bad enough that the McCain campaign was poised to hire him, the AP’s Ron Fournier may very well be getting payments from the very same organizations he covers.
Fox News gives McCain credit for a bill he opposed. Double-plus good.
And more to come. Don’t wait for the MSM to cover their favorite son’s Jello-like positions.
Hey, the Democratic convention is coming up… let’s show footage of the 1968 convention, and let’s put on some protesters too (never mind they ignored and ridiculed anti-war protesters in the past). Fair and balanced!
Don’t like your own memories? Borrow someone else’s!
MORE on how John McCain may have been using this fake story for a few years now. Of course, the MSM loves John McCain’s barbecue too much to actually ask him about this.
>> McCain’s “Cross In Dirt” Story Questioned
Corrupt Republican senator? Good for John McCain according to Politico.
CBS scrubs yet another one of McCain’s senior citizen gaffes from their coverage. Uncle Joe would be proud.
John McCain bitching about someone else supposedly getting preferential media coverage is sort of like attacking Jeffrey Dahmer for cruelty to animals and ignoring the other stuff. Seriously. This guy:
More: Meghan McCain shows how the press corps is so biased against her dad they let him grill for them.
When McCain was tossing aside the wife who waited out his time in Vietnam for the beauty queen many years his junior, he neglected to divorce the first wife when he got the marriage certificate for the second. If this were a Democrat the MSM wouldn’t be able to stop talking about it. But it’s [...]
Did McCain invite the entire AP staff over for barbecue? Can someone please ask the crew over there how Sen. McCain’s ass tastes? Thanks.
The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don’t Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn’t
Jake Tapper follows the media line and jumps into a defensive crouch for John McCain, not being man enough to make a forthright accusation but still saying the Obama camp called McCain “confused” because of his age. While more than a few of the nutty things McCain says and believes are likely products of his [...]
This dumb: Fox News’ E.D. Hill teased discussion of Obama dap: “A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?”
God.
Lacking any news, the AP writes up an article on people who might “complicate” Obama’s campaign. Why don’t they just reprint the releases from the McCain camp and skip the pretense?
Yet another instance of the media trying to swing this thing for McCain and claim Obama to be an elitist. David Brooks claims Obama is too uppity for the salad bar at Applebee’s.
Applebee’s doesn’t have a salad bar.
On MSNBC, David Brooks asserted that “less educated” and “downscale” people “look at [Sen. Barack] Obama, and they [...]
The Washington Post links to this story with the home page headline “McCain Reconsiders Tax Policies”. The press will literally tie themselves into knots in order to carry water for McCain without pointing out the obvious: McCain has flip-flopped on practically every major issue in order to appease the hard-right base of his party. The [...]
The media wraps John McCain in its arms and protects Widdle John from the tough questions.
On [CNN's] Ballot Bowl, Jim Acosta reported on an appearance by Sen. John McCain at his former high school in Virginia in which a student asked McCain to clarify why he was visiting the school if not for political reasons. [...]
