Just sent this to most of those above and to the Fox addresses that were posted:

Why is it right for John McCain to endlessly invoke experiences from 40 years ago, but wrong for Obama to talk about a McCain scandal from 18 years ago? Why is it okay for Palin to invoke Ayers to label Obama a terrorist when she and her husband belonged to a group that openly hates America to the point of wanting to renounce statehood, an act long ago defined as treason? Why is it okay to condemn Obama for statements made by his pastor while not condemning Palin's belief in witchcraft? Why does McCain get away with calling Obama a reckless liar, when McCain has a long and provable history of erratic, reckless, even dangerous behavior and his present lies have been documented? Particularly after we've heard these lies repeated many times and have heard speeches that openly incite violence against Obama.

And why continue to cover the mendacious public rants of Palin when she will not allow the press real access to her?

We all know we're in times of unprecedented crisis. It is WRONG and IRRESPONSIBLE for the media to give the public anything but the truth. If you care about the future of this country, you must rise to the challenge of the times and have the courage that speaking truth to power imparts.

Americans have always had a basic decency that comes through in the face of adversity, but for that to happen, they must be able to separate fact from falsehood.
