Mainstream Can't Get It Right

A Tree Falls In the Forest

Yesterday in Albuquerque, John McCain delivered an excellent speech that 
finally made the case that Barack Obama and the Democrats are primarily 
responsible for the current financial crisis. McCain contrasted his own 
record, particularly as it related to Fannie and Freddy, with Obama's 
blank slate. He also accused Obama of a lack of leadership in the current 
crisis. The guts of McCain's speech related to the economy, but he made 
his economic points in the context of the broader question, "who is the 
real Barack Obama?" Again and again, McCain argued, Obama's deeds don't 
match his words.

But if you rely on the mainstream media for your news, you probably have 
no idea that McCain gave an important speech on the economy yesterday. 
Patterico documents the fact that the Los Angeles Times quoted McCain's 
speech right up to the point where he started talking about the economy. 
Then without, acknowledging that the economy was in fact the main subject 
of the speech, the Times jumped to a quote from Barack Obama to the effect 
that McCain is afraid to talk about the economy.
