There's no denying that John McCain has always been a darling of the media. From his insurgent run against George W. Bush in 2000, and through to this year's general election, the MSM has wholeheartedly, and unabashedly embraced McCain's image as a maverick who stands his ground and bucks his party.
But wait a second. The "maverick" McCain is no more. In perhaps the most egregious case of flip-flopping in political history, he's changed his stance on Iraq timetables, immigration reform, hunting Bin Laden, the Bush tax cuts, domestic oil drilling, troop levels in Afghanistan, campaign finance reform... and way too many more to name. And keep in mind we still have over three months until the election, folks.
But, thankfully, Media Matters for America is calling for an end to this love affair.
In the words of Arrianna Huffington, "It's time to end the romantic notion of John McCain that the media are still clinging to-- and file for divorce."
Amen.
