Apparently McCain is friendly with Dictators. Does the news care?
Let's see what happens here. A loud, slightly inane controversy is ripe for McCain. Will it actually lead to widespread media shenanigans? Will these shenanigans be similar to the shenanigans that Obama's pastor caused? Boy, I love the word 'shenanigans.'


If you are a Flaming Liberal, the fact that another Republican loves another Dictator is no huge surprise.

"Two of John McCain's senior campaign staff were forced to resign this week after revelations that their lobbying firm was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to represent Burma's brutal military dictatorship.

And it gets worse—turns out this goes all the way to the top. Charlie Black, McCain's campaign chairman, ran a lobbying firm that represented brutal dictators like Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines and Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire—along with terrorist rebel Jonas Savimbi in Angola. Together, these men have been responsible for massive human suffering.

And for good measure, Charlie Black has represented war profiteer Blackwater Worldwide and Iraqi fraudster Ahmed Chalabi."

But what about this. How is the media covering it? Search "McCain+Dictator" on Google News...

Now search "Obama+ Racist"...

which has more results...which results are more mainstream, that is, in larger and more respected as middle of the road sources, and which headlines are more damning?

You'll find far more friendly, personal articles on McCain with less scary headlines, and far more political, sharp articles on Obama with scarier headlines.

Sigh.

Spooky black man is racist. Ooogabooga! Spooky! Another white republican is friendly with people who hate democracy. Eh, who cares.

Okay, back to my paper...

Stay tuned. The media is speaking its true biases.
