John McCain Was Present When Gutenberg Built His First Printing Press

Posted on May 13, 2008 by andrew

McCain’s base goes campaigning:

Here’s the lead the McCain campaign wanted from yesterday’s global-warming speech: “Senator John McCain sought to distance himself from President Bush on Monday as he called for a mandatory limit on greenhouse gas emissions in the United States to combat climate change.”

Here’s the Post’s lead: “Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) made a sharp break with President Bush on Monday, saying that the United States should adopt mandatory curbs on greenhouse gas emissions as well as issue tradable emissions credits to polluters to spur technological innovation.”

And here’s the LA Times’: “Distancing himself from President Bush, John McCain pledged a new era of environmental stewardship Monday as he outlined his plan to address global warming, a cause he has embraced since activists hounded him during his 2000 run for president.”

The Fourth Estate has its candidate. The only way to defeat the McCain/media machine is to tell the truth about McCain at every opportunity, because the people charged with telling the truth have abdicated their responsibility. At least someone at MSNBC noticed how absurd this one is. It almost gives me hope for the institution of American journalism. Almost.
