The media is in the tank for Obama, part 3

Sen. McCain is swinging back and hitting Sen. Obama very hard over meeting unconditionally with the president of Iran.

Obama is playing word games. Obama claims that he never said "terrorists".

What in the world is Iran? Who is funding Hezbollah? What planet is Obama living in?

In the afternoon, the Obama campaign was spinning a story that McCain had agreed to talk to Hamas. They even came up with a video based on a story by Jamie Rubin.

What was wrong with Rubin's story? Ed Morrissey has the rest of the story:

"Here’s what Rubin initially included:

Jamie Rubin: “Do you think that American diplomats should be operating the way they have been in the past, in working with the Palestinian government if Hamas is in now charge?”

Sen. John McCain: “They’re the government and sooner or later we‘re going to have to deal with them in one way or another, and I understand why this administration and previous administrations had such antipathy towards Hamas is because of their dedication to violence and the things they not only espouse but practice, so, but it’s a new reality in the Middle East. And I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and a decent future then they want democracy. Fatah was not giving them that.”

And here’s what Rubin left out:

Rubin: “So should the United States be dealing with that new reality through normal diplomatic contacts to get the job done for the United States?”

Sen. McCain: “I think the United States should take a step back, see what they do when they form their government, see what their policies are, and see the ways that we can engage with them, and if there aren’t any, there may be a hiatus. But I think part of the relationship is going to be dictated by how Hamas acts, not how the United States acts.”

Is this dishonest journalism or what? Why not just come clean and say that they are on the Obama campaign?
