As I noted below, the big press story of the campaign is shaping up to be how reporters are and will react to McCain's deliberate strategy of full-court-press lying. The corrupt, though normal, approach is for reporters to try to dig up whatever Obama exaggerations they can find to try to balance the coverage. If that doesn't work, then they will try to hang the charges on Democrats -- i.e., "what Democrats are calling 'lies'" etc. And of course using the dictionary term -- "lies" -- for repeated and intentional misstatements of fact is almost always forbidden.

But the lying is so extreme in this case that a few reporters are beginning to actually report the story accurately.

So keep an eye out for examples in both categories -- egregious refusals to identify McCain's lies properly and instances where reporters actually decide not to mince words and accurately report the story before them. If you find them, send them in and we'll start keeping a list.

No No guys and gals that's just electioneering. The real lies are told by democrats who expect people to be investigated for alleged wrongdoing and won't take our word on it. Would you want a president who wants you to swear an oath and answer questions from people you don't know? Or do you want people like McCain and Palin? Heck if you are GOP and evangelical your word is as good as ours. Lets have some faith in our system instead of that cold impersonal regulation.
