Americablog: FOX News criticizes McCain for hiding from the press

This is about as close to "criticism" of McCain as you get from the GOP propaganda organ known as Tass News, I mean, FOX News. In the article, FOX marks the "anniversary" of McCain's last press conference - that's downright nasty for them.
For a candidate who once railed against “stale soundbites, staged rallies and over-managed messages,” John McCain seems to have turned over a new leaf.

Today marks the four-week anniversary since McCain held his last press conference (8/13 in Birmingham, MI) and three weeks since his last public town hall meeting (8/20 in Las Cruces, NM).

McCain’s new campaign strategy: staged rallies with thousands of supporters. Since announcing Sarah Palin as his VP choice on August 29, McCain’s has appeared at 11 rallies with his new running mate where both members of the ticket delivered a 10-15 minute stump speech.

While shifting to rallies is inevitable for any party nominee during a general election, McCain has always touted town hall meetings and interactions with the press as reasons for his success

We need a McCain/Palin Presser clock!

5. In other news, hell has frozen over

I guess Fox must occasionally feel the need to make some criticism of McCain, if only due to overwhelming peer pressure. It just goes to show how much McCain is alienating the media.

6. They're just upset because they didn't get the Palin interview

They were probably expecting to get the first interview, and the ratings boost that would come with it, but instead they were left out in the cold like all of the other networks other than ABC.
