McCain camp should be careful what it wishes for

The LA Times reported Wednesday morning that McCain is going "on the offensive" against a perceived TV media bias toward Obama. Given that CBS, for example, is already destroying its own credibility by editing out McCain's serious mistakes(!), I say let him have all the TV coverage he wants. Put a camera on him 24/7. Then maybe the American people will start paying attention to this supposed foreign-policy expert's multiple references to countries that don't exist, mangling of history, concern about the "Iraq-Pakistan border," confusion of Sunnis and Shiites, and other incontesibly unpresidential mistakes. It would be charitable to say that the media has been giving McCain a free pass—imagine what would have happened if Obama had missed that fortuitous three-pointer in Kuwait!
