McCain and lobbyists
Mother Jones Magazine recently reported that McCain has 177 lobbyists on his campaign. More interesting is that they've been able to find records linking 83 to the financial industry who McCain and Palin slam for causing the current crisis. The article even lists the names of the 83 and for whom they lobby.
Yes, MJ is a left wing journal, so it's no surprise they found it out. Sadly, it's also no surprise that I've seen no major media outlet pick up the article, information that's critical for the electorate clearly understanding what kind of "change" McCain really wants.
If the media was really controlled by the supposed left wing conspiracy, you think the story would be a bit more prominent. Rather, it's more proof of how the main outlets are owned by corporations which tend to be conservative and active in forcing media in direction they want.
