Now here's a graphic example of media bias!!
In the KC Star, they ran an editorial endorsing McCain and Clinton.

Here's the picture of McCain they ran:




And the picture of Hillary:




Now is that just overt bias or what!?!?!?

5. At least they got his good side
His left side is not flattering at all (ironic, don't you think?).

10. He's ugly. I know he can't help it, but ugly has a hard time winning in
our culture.

They say in the JFK/Nixon debate looks made a difference in how people scored the debate. People who listened on the radio said Nixon won the debate. TV viewers said JFK won.

6. One of the Keating Five
I lived in Arizona in the 1980's.

McCain can't fool me.


Honestly, we can slam media.

Do not buy newspapers and don't watch the "news".

Look stuff up and suckle not.

I know that this is a strong idea and can make people nervous but it will work

9. I read an article today that suggested that he might be swiftboated.
If the general election is Clinton vs. McCain, some people believe that Hillary's campaign will bring out old rumors about McCain's conduct while a POW. I remember hearing some such talk many years ago, but gave it no credence. Apparently, it may return at some point. Have any other DU'ers heard this?

15. I certainly hope they don't do that
I would think going after his POW years would backfire big time. It's also dirty pool.

16. The Clinton shot is actually a preview of the slide show.
Her actual photo is the same size as McCrazy's.
