Why is the mainstream media so desperate to hype McCain?
Those of you who know me know that I have not been a big Romney guy. However, I am getting more and more amused/frustrated with the mainstream media. It seems that they are desperate to minimize Romney's success. For example, Romney has won more states, more delegates and more votes than McCain. Yet every television station I have seen claims McCain to be the front runner.
Today an interesting thing happened. One of the television stations identified newspapers that had endorsed McCain. Lets see, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the St. Petersburg Times and the New York Times are all endorsing McCain either outright or for the Republican nomination. The Philadelphia Inquirer endorsed - John Kerry. So did the St. Petersburg Times. New York Times? Can anyone guess?
So why are the television stations and newspapers backing McCain? Could it be that McCain sponsored a bill that essentially gives illegal aliens amnesty? Could it be that he frequently votes against tax cuts? Or could it be that McCain sponsored the bill that gave new life to groups such as moveon.org, while robbing many groups of their First Amendment right to challenge candidates?
I am still unsure that Romney will really implement conservative economic policies. Rather than passing laws that try to protect jobs in the U.S., will he change the tax laws so businesses no longer find it necessary to move overseas to remain economically competitive? Will he actually attempt to control illegal immigration, as most Americans want? Will he control spending on entitlements so that we do not continue to build an economic train wreck for our children? I do not know. But I am pretty sure McCain will not.
