McCain lost the corporate media. His negative campaign attacks won't work

The only reason that negative campaigning has been so effective is that is has gone uncorrected.

Obama is the next President. The corporations don't want an open revoltfrom the American people against the system (which is really what we need, but that is another post). And, they know that the incompetence of the Republicans is dangerous to their bottom line. Obama strongly aligns with Bill Clinton, the best Republican President we ever had.

McCain can't win because the powers that be don't want him to win. I have never seen so much truth and fact checking in a democrat's favor from the MSM. And, it isn't because they suddenly developed a conscience. It is because they are dictated how to cover events. They are still talking heads.

Every negative campaign ad will be fact checked over & over & over, again. McCain already tried this and it didn't work well at all. The talking heads will spin it as McCain the liar, McCain the manipulator.

This election is over. And, not for altruistic reasons, but for the corporate bottom line.

1. Agree. Plus, the MSM already knows the Wright, Rezko & Ayers stories.
Unless there's something new, MSM's going to be more interested in the Palin abuse of power report that's hopefully coming out on Friday, Oct 10th.

2. CNN reports the "palling around" statement with such sarcastic emphasis
that it's funny.
