Agreed.
Journalism simply can't be trusted anymore. The majority have abused their careers by stating their opinions as fact to sway the public instead of giving it to us straight.
As far as disliking McCain, I've always had a weird feeling about him, too - especially when he started putting down "the religious right" while running against Bush.
I am a Christian and not necessarily a fan of "religion", but, he was quick to distance himself from the fact that people of faith, etc. tend to vote republican.
Not very cool if you ask me.
