Very Conservative Media Policies

Looking at John McCain in this campaign is enough to turn anyone who had any hope for their politicians into a total cynic. For decades, McCain carefully cultivated an image of a straight talking maverick. It had gotten him wide respect from the people and some fellow lawmakers. It had also gotten him rejection from his own party when it came to primaries. It is clear so far in this campaign that he has fallen in line with the powers of his party and employed the same tactics he had opposed for decades. Even his slogan-famous straight talk is no more. Right now he is more Stephen Harper then Straight Talk Express. Maybe this why Harper has to up his game and use his RCMP protection team to keep vetted reporters away from him and Conservative candidates around him. I cannot help but wonder what these people are hiding. In this time of reports famously not asking the tough and the real questions, politicians, in the right particularly, act as if they were con men facing 60 Minutes. But then, come to think of it, maybe that is precisely the case, and they are such con men that they are even afraid of the weakest pool of reporters in history.
