... When John McCain could be used by the media to achieve their left-wing goals (save Obamacare, a club against Trump), they adore the guy. He's the "maverick" again, a national hero, a true patriot ... But when John McCain stood in the way of the media's left-wing goals, most especially the goal of anointing the radical left-wing Obama president, McCain was an old, dying, rich, white, adulterous, corrupt, racist warmonger too unstable to be president.
And for the following the media have never apologized ...
The New York Times ran a Birther campaign to disqualify McCain, a campaign very similar to the one Hillary Clinton was running against Obama at the time.
McCain the "warmonger."
McCain the racist.
McCain the racist again.
And again.
McCain the politically corrupt adulterer.
Here is the media's favorite general, Wesley Clark, mocking McCain for getting shot down, and no one in the media ever demanded an apology.
"That large squadron in the Navy [McCain] commanded - that wasn't a wartime squadron," Clark said, adding, "I don't think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president."
Obama adviser Rand Beers mocked McCain's POW status, saying "that because McCain was in an unfortunate state of 'isolation' during much of the Vietnam War, his national security experience is 'sadly limited.'"
McCain is too old, too old, too old, too old and wrinkly.
McCain is too erratic, too angry.
McCain is a liar, an adulterous liar, a dishonorable man.
The far-left Washington Post accused McCain of being a liar who lies about his own war record.
PolitiFact described McCain a POW who "bargained" with the enemy.
I could go on and on and on ...
