The Media Finally Get Their Man by Seton Motley
The media’s long love affair with the maverick, Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, may be finally about to bear presidential primary fruit.
The Straight Talk Express has taken a circuitous route to the precipice of the Republican nomination and – throughout the journey -- its co-pilot has been the national media, who rarely have loved a Republican more.
The press’ affinity for McCain might seem strange, if you look only at the numbers. The Senator has an American Conservative Union rating of 82, not uniformly right-wing but certainly a solid figure. On abortion he has been consistently pro-life, perhaps the media’s most egregious political transgression.
