McCain gets a pass from Arizona news media

AZ BlueMeanie

While serious newspapers like the Washington Post and New York Times continue to do in-depth investigative news reports into Sen. John McCain, our local yokel newspapers the Daily Star and Tucson Citizen continue to ignore these excellent investigative reports by not publishing even a news service abridged version, or referencing the articles in an editorial.  I strongly encourage them to do so.

Why the news blackout?  Are the local papers protecting their favorite son Saint John from public scrutiny?  Or protecting their advertising revenue bottom line by not upsetting McCain’s campaign contributors who also happen to purchase substantial amounts of advertising in their newspapers?  They would not allow revenue to affect their professional journalistic judgment, now would they?

The Sunday Washington Post ran a front page lead story by Michael Leahy on the volcanic temper of Sen. McCain.  McCain: A Question of Temperament  Leahy provides the details of several confrontations McCain has had with fellow Senators, other politicians and even a campaign staff member over the years.

Here is a sampling of the report…

Clinton wins by 9.3% (Round to 9%)

David Safier

by David Safier If the numbers are there, they can be spun how you want them. The press is saying, “Hillary by 10%” because Clinton has 54.6% — round up to 55% — and Obama has 45.3% — round down to 45%. Advertisement Fair enough. But if we subtract her unrounded number from his, we … Read more

Election Day in Philadelphia

David Safier

by David Safier A nervous morning in Philly, with poll numbers all over the place. My position is, if Clinton wins by less than 10, that’s a win for Obama, since Clinton is fighting from way behind. If it’s down around 6, she’s in deep trouble. If she’s in the 14-15 point win range, she … Read more

We’re Number 1… really!

I don’t know how the rankings are actually generated, but some folks set some stock in BlogNetNews.com’s influence ranking of local blogs. Recently, BlogForArizona.com was honored with the #1 Most Influential Blog in Arizona ranking. Generally, they have ranked Arizona’s Republican blogs as more influential than Arizona’s Democratic blogs, so I think it’s worth mentioning. … Read more

KOLD 13 Does Election Integrity Right

Michael Bryan

KOLD 13’s Bud Foster covered yesterday’s hearing in the on-going election integrity legal battle between Pima County and the Pima County Democratic Party. He does an awesome job of setting the tone (code red!) and conveying the real import of the complex issues involved (there is no adult supervision of our elections!). I haven’t seen … Read more

We’re Number 1… and 2!

Michael Bryan

I’m so proud. Arizona currently has the top two news stories on the social news site Reddit. Arizona’s GOP is doing its level best to ensure Arizona is famous for our plutocratic Senator, who is running for President at the moment, and for our McCarthyistic and overtly racist politics. The bill introduced by Arizona Republican … Read more

Door Hangin’ in Philadelphia

David Safier

by David Safier Another day at the storefront at Allegheny and Kennsington (Those are the cross streets, for anyone familiar with Philly). The place was packed in the morning, and when we returned at noon, we couldn’t get in the door, for all the SEIU Union folks who came in to pick up door hangers … Read more
