The Media's Defense Of McCain's 100-years In Iraq Comment

By John Amato — April 4, 2008

It's not surprising that McCain's Media must defend him at every turn. Here's a typical example from emailer Candice:

On Friday night April 4th's Nightly News, Brian Williams made the claim that
McCain had been well received by the crowd at the Motel monument site where
Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered. Not exactly the truth -- in a live
broadcast on CNN, the crowd boo'ed him as he spoke about not having supported
the legislation to make his birthday a national holiday.

We know that wasn't the case, Mr.Williams.

Bob Somerby asks: "Are these life-forms actually human?"
