Watching Nightline last night they had a segment on "mud slinging" by both presidential campaigns. I could not find the entire segment on the Nightline website but could find an abridged segment in politics section of ABCNews.com.
As many others have noted is that corporate media is still insisting on the inaccurate view of making equivalences between "a" and "b" when there are none. Whereas McCain is utilizing "guilt by association" between Obama and Ayers (that has been debunked) the ABC Nightline segment then makes an equivalancy with Obama's website on McCain being a part of the Keating 5.
What the Nightline segment did was basically whitewash the involvement of McCain in Lincoln Savings and Loan, headed by Keating, which failed and that cost taxpayers over two billion dollars. The Chicago Sun-Times does a fact check.
Is this informing the viewer or is it just to keep the ratings up in the interest of garning viewers and higher profits?
