MORE HANNITY WHORING

Sticking with the stale wingnut meme that the MSM doesn't tell all the real news, Hannity today claimed that the MSM didn't report that more people think McCain would be a good CINC than Obama.

Here's some counter-evidence:

Obama's stance on Iraq may be crucial to his chances in the election. Earlier this month, an ABC-Washington Post poll found that 72% of the Americans surveyed believed that McCain would be a good Commander in Chief; only 48% thought Obama would be up to the job.

Today, AJ Strata trots out the Israel-firster/ Hillary Clinon supporter Lanny Davis, who has composed a Washington Times column "admitting" he was wrong on the Iraq War. I believe the commentor on Antiwar.com can explain it for Strata:

Andy,
I think “The Bizarre U.S. obsession with Israel” is coming to an end. More and more Americans are speaking out. Not that the controlled media will let one ray of sunshine to fall on the subject, but still, Americans are not all fooled. As an example, CNN held an informal poll on whether or not Jimmy Carter should have talked to Hamas - 74% said yes. This awakening can also be seen in the amplification and shrillness of the Israel-First message. Last night on Larry King Live, I saw Lanny Davis denounce Jimmy Carter. He said that Jimmy Carter was “a problem for the Democrats”. Here was Lanny Davis, ultimate Democratic Party insider, attacking what should be a Democratic Party icon, ex-President and Nobel laureate, Jimmy Carter. Why wasn’t Davis (Jewish) a little more subtle? Same reason that the media threw a fit over Pastor Wright, demonizing a basically decent man, over mild comments criticizing Israel (don’t for one moment think it was the “G-D Damn America” that really bothered them - that was for the mouth-breathing FOX News crowd). You can always tell when someone is losing an argument - they get irrational and loud.
