McCain campaign tilting at windmills

Mark Salter Now 'Litigator' of What He Views as Media Wrongs Against Candidate
"I see the bias for Obama all over," he said, and let that hang there. His office TV was muted, but his crazed beeper was signaling him every minute or so. He hadn't had a cigarette for several hours and confessed to feeling a tad jumpy. "But this thing with Obama: We're naturally concerned -- especially because the media isn't, none of you guys are."
...
As the campaign has entered its final phase, Salter's role as what he calls the "litigator" of media atrocities has only increased. He often wanders to the back of the campaign plane to challenge reporters on their stories and always to reinforce the McCain narrative.
Sorry Mark, but your time would be better spent drinking. Want to know why the media reports that you have a shitty, losing campaign? It's because you have a shitty, losing campaign with no message discipline, ten different lines of attack a day, several different campaign reboots, an embarrassment of a VP going off the reservation, staffers and insiders constantly criticizing the candidate and campaign, fellow GOP'ers mourning your death, nearly insurmountable polls leads to overcome, and tactics and ethics that would make people who light fires in Reichstag's blush. Reporting this isn't bias for Obama, it's simple fact and I'm sorry the truth has a liberal bias.

Want to know why no one cares about all the shit you hype up about Obama? Because it has nothing to do with the main problems facing America, not to mention that 90% of it is utter BS. Want to know why no one cares about the McCain narrative? Because it dwells in a fantasy world so rich, JK Rowling and George Lucas are trying to buy the rights to it. So compile your lists of transgressors and media outlets that are disinvited from the next JMac BBBQ (the extra B is for BYOB), I'm sure it'll hurt their feelings pretty badly and next time they'll actually cover the made up shit that no one cares about. For you and your tears of ultimate sadness.
