The bottom line: TIME FOR THE MEDIA – AND AMERICA - TO WAKE UP!

THE CENTRAL QUESTION: How then did we come to this current pervasive “popular” mythology that John McCain has actually been "fully vetted" already by the American electorate and that he has actually "passed the test" to be President were he to be elected to that sacred office? Just where is the credible evidence or proof of that conclusion or assumption? And when, where and how, was that evidence or proof ever presented to the American people? Lest the American people become swindled once again into yet another national political deceit and disaster in this epochal 2008 election, as they had been swindled into in Iraq by the main stream press and media that was largely in slumber only to wake up to the actual truth only when it was already too late, the American Press and Media had better snapped out, very quickly, of the ongoing mythology of the "automatic qualification" of Sen. John McCain to be a good, worthy or competent President of the United States. And, get into doing their duty - the duty and responsibility of OBJECTIVELY investigating, verifying, asking the hard but necessary questions, and demanding answers! And, hopefully, this article, as with reporter Max Nutting's within quoted article and others like it, will be only the opening salvo for the press and media to wake up and perhaps actually begin their proper legitimate duty of looking into this fundamental issue of these potentially history-changing 2008 elections.
