Where are McCain's Tax Returns?

Media ignore McCain's finances after obsessing over Dems'. Jamison Foser points out that the media, from MSNBC, to CNN, to FOX, the AP, and so on and so on bring up the finances of the Democratic candidates while ignoring those of John McCain.

A February 27 editorial in the Washington Post says that not only has McCain not given up his tax returns he doesn't even plan to do it as the de facto nominee of the Republican party. Hillary Clinton has pledged to disclose her tax returns after

MainStreamMedia: Distortion and Exaggeration

The media, with hyperbole and media distortions has set out to get the imagination of as many people as they can to shape people's mind in an effort to stop Hillary Clinton. They have come a long way in succeeding. They do so not because some other individual is more qualified for a position but simply because they dislike Hillary Clinton with a passion and some of them simply do not think a woman should be running for or be elected president of this country.

Europeans underscored the mentality of some people in this country as being idiots. The problem with all of that is that all of us must pay for the agenda of the mainstream media. All of us have to pay for it.

These are the same people who we didn't hear a peep out of during the run up to and the initiation of the Iraq occupation which has seen millions of people displaced, hundreds of thousands of people killed including thousands of coalition forces who were killed or maimed.

Now they wear the flags on their lapels and support, get morphed into the Bush Administration.

This morning we watched Kosovo declare independence from Serbia and MSNBC came out with an exageration of how the Serbian people did so much to the U.S. embassy when it was not that serious. They never said what happened to the military or security at the embassy but there was never anything that happened to the extent of what MSNBC tried to describe.

Clinton Nostolgia

I am amazed, is all, that I can look at old articles that describe Hillary Clinton in a way that I do not seem to see today.

In the September 17, 2007 issue of Newsweek the cover says "What kind of decider would she be?" with Hillary Clinton angled behind a pulpit raising her hand as if waving to a crowd. The article describes how Clinton was rather stubborn when she entered Washington as First Lady, refusing to yield on her healthcare program to the point of ultimately dooming it. It goes on to say that Clinton cocooned herself with her aides and came out as a new, compromising individual who could cut policies away with hardlined Republicans such as Trent Lott and Lindsey Graham.

Now I see the media shutting Clinton out, possibly in order to make it a real race. It might be worth it to ignore anything new and just look for older articles on all of the candidates that appeared before the hype.
