I call BS!
The following passage from this NYTimes article reeks of BS:In what is perhaps an unwelcome turn of events for Mr. McCain, the Iraq
war has faded in the news as the country has seemed to quiet down ?
arguably providing a validation of his call to increase troop strength
there, which Mr. Obama opposed ? putting even more emphasis on an issue
that Mr. McCain would prefer be secondary.
Why do I call BS? Perhaps this little gem I read at Obsidian Wings will explain. If you don't feel like reading, the main link in that Obsidian Wings post is to a NYTimes story entitled:Reporters Say Networks Put Wars on Back Burner
Yes, I know, the article mostly talks about the Big Three TV networks. But that's a fairly big news outlet, particularly considering that print media seems to be on the decline.
So if anything, the media has put the war on the back burner and will bring it out only when their candidate (who loves donuts with the sprinkles on top) needs a boost.
