Sen. Joe Lieberman is a maverick and the MSM hates him, possibly more that Bush. The only folks the MSM loves are Stalinists, Islamofascists, and any other genocidal maniacs that catch the fancy of the Far Left.

ST, I don’t agree with your theory that if McCain moved back to the political Left the MSM would love him again. In a hypothetical presidential race between St. John and Hilly the Hun, the MSM would make the argument “McCain=Hitler” no matter what he actually said or did. The Joseph Goebbels wannabes control the MSM now, and one-party fascism is their Promised Land.

I dont think that holds.

Kerry was hardly a maverick, but the press loved him heavily.

If your implying the dreaded MSMSMSMSMSMSMSM, then I think your wrong. McCain was a maverick and the press loves mavericks. Now, he’s not so much. Anyone who paid attention knew that he was a hard-core conservative, but he seemed pretty principled. Now, with all of the embracing Robertson, silly pandering at the TN conference to Bush and other decisions to get the 2008 Rep. nomination, he just looks like every other politician willing to sell out principle for a few votes. At this point, he’s Santorum without the whole bat-shit crazy thing.

That’s why a “love affair” with the press is a negative for anyone.
