A nice example of doublespeak from Time's Mark Halperin:
I'm not saying the press should be out to get John McCain and Sarah Palin. But if a core part of their message is something that every journalist -- journalism organization in the country has looked at and says it's demonstrably false, again, we're not doing our jobs if we just treat this as one of many things that's happening.
Okay. So is he suggesting that the press has pursued the same
tack with Senator Obama?
