sure, the msm included everything about ayers BUT MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY did NOT include a word about dave's asking mccain about liddy. and of course it would follow they didn't report on mccains answer (which he gave after MUCH hemming and hawing and if you didn't think for one second he was dying to deny a relationship betwixt and between himself and what i consider a domestic terrorist, g gordon liddy then you're an id-jit)
dave i love you!
great analysis here
Media Matters: Loose ends
by Jamison Foser..........................
Until last night, when McCain was finally asked, point-blank, about his relationship to Liddy and the similarities between that relationship and the Obama-Ayers relationship he has attacked so harshly.
Who finally asked the question? The New York Times? The Washington Post? CNN's "best political team on television"?
Nope.
David Letterman asked McCain about Liddy, putting the nation's journalists to shame in the process.
For years, political professionals, academics, and media watchdogs have lamented the fact that some Americans get their news from late-night comedians and other entertainment. As it turns out, that might be a good thing.
Unfortunately, after Letterman broke the media's embargo on questioning McCain's relationship with Liddy, reporters quickly pretended it never happened -- or, if they did mention it, downplayed the significance of the relationship. Time's Mark Halperin described Letterman "hound[ing]" McCain over his Ayers attacks, adding, "The late-night host doesn't let up on where the former Weather Underground leader fits into the campaign." But, inexplicably, Halperin didn't so much as mention that Letterman confronted McCain about his relationship with Liddy. Several news reports that did mention the Liddy exchange described him as a Watergate felon -- omitting Liddy's much more recent statements about shooting law enforcement personnel...............
