I prefer the New York Times myself. An in depth article will be featured in the Sunday Magazine. BTW - The Wall Street Journal is by no means a liberal newspaper.

Meanwhile, almost all major media outlets tilt to the left.
These are just a few of the surprising findings from a UCLA-led study, which is believed to be the first successful attempt at objectively quantifying bias in a range of media outlets and ranking them accordingly.
I take it you have never read the news articles in their paper then.

I should write something caustic, incidiary, and degrading, then a moderator will close the thread.
well, it's been apparent that the republican party hasn't exactly been in love with McSame throughout the campaign, McSame slammed bushka yesterday, people must be wondering, how does a republican candidate distance him/her self from a party from which neither has lost any love for? McSame is pretty much between a rock and a hard place. maybe only if McSame hadn't voted with bushka so many times, 90+% of the time, and distanced himself from this administration long ago, maybe he would actually have a chance of winning the election, but now that he has been painted as a bush supporter, the average American is, really trying to figure him out. people like him and respect him, but he's such a flippity-flopper, nobody can say what he might do, once elected, and, this might be possibly why Obama is pulling ahead in the polls? I watched a special about McSame last night, and, he is not fully to blame for the way he voted on some bills, as we all know, many bills have trash attached to them, and the people who should be voting no for something are often forced to vote yes, to try to get the bills passed. as for me, if I were president, I would support line item veto.

Default GOP: The Blame Game Begins

There's plenty of blame to go around, but little of it belongs to McCain.

Most of it goes directly to Rove, Bush and Cheney. These three are the "architects" of the Republican meltdown. Then some can go to the hardcore neocon idealogues like Phil Gramm and Newt Gingrich who led their fellow Republicans down the path to electoral disaster. Save some for the religious crackpots like Pat Robertson. And then some of it can be generalized to all GOP officeholders who simply bleated like sheep and acquiesced to the neocon agenda of war, outscourcing, and reconcentration of wealth, screwing mainstream Americans hard and heavy in the process.

Well done!

Now, enjoy your upcoming electoral banishment. May it be deep and long.

And the Drudge Report... oh wait, I hear they're pulling the plug on Drudge. What a shame.

Relax, everyone...

McCain's upcoming defeat isn't really the "fault" of anyone working in his campaign. The Republican label is to blame. It's become toxic. I doubt that there's anything Mack & Co could have done to achieve a better result. The numerous failed and highly damaging Republican policies of recent years are now bearing bitter fruit:

1. encouraging illegal immigration
2. deregulating the economy
3. outsourcing US jobs
4. "preemptive" wars
5. anti-science/anti-education

The great mass of the American public, who in the past were willing to trust elected officials to act in their best interests are now fully aware of the depth of the GOP betrayal.

Look for a huge tsunami to sweep the electoral landscape in a week and a half, folks. It's turning grim. very grim.

And no political party has ever earned such a fate as the GOP has currently.

The NY Times article is already online, and it does include an in-depth discussion about major decisions McCain made, including choosing Palin for VP.

The Making (and Remaking) of McCain

Dude, you just said a 10-gallon hat full of truth.

I'm relishing the tidal wave that will sweep out tons of GOP flotsam, hoping for a DEM super-majority in the Senate.
