McCain versus the Media

According to a recent NYTimes report John McCain has taken a new approach to attacking the media by accusing individual journalists who question his record of being Obama supporters.

This approach, which seems like it could prove to be fairly effective, plays into the overall McCain strategy of simply aiming to distract the public from the real issues at hand. By discrediting the people questioning McCain, McCain is able to avoid answering questions and further propagate the idea that a liberal media bias exists.

It's really pretty genius, but so so scary...
