How many of McCain's alleged poor word choices are actually intentional misquotes by the press?

Question

They like to mess around with conservatives because we don't kowtow to them and let them ransack every aspect of our lives.

Answer 1

So now the cameras are lying to us?

Answer 2

This thing tends to backfire on the media. The fact is, most Americans are not as smooth as Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and therefore will eventually come to resent these sort of attacks.

What counts most is experience which Obama lacks big time. Clinton was a smooth talker but relatively inexperieced and had a disasterous and cringe worthy presidency.

Answer 3

Nobody's misquoting McCain. He manages to make bone-headed statements all by himself.

Answer 4

None. Your description of the press is inaccurate. The media enjoys throwing around Obama smears like the reverend Wright thing and now they're trying to disprove Obama's trip to the Middle East because they thing certain questions and photos are being cherry picked (heard this on MSNBC).

Answer 5

So the TV stations are now editing the footage to make his lips match words he never actually said?

Get a grip!

Do you even remember the Savings & Loan crisis? The "Keating Five"?  Do you REALLY want a fellow who was at the center of that in charge with the mortgage industry where it is today?

McCain is NOT a "conservative"! I'm not sure there are any in the GOP...

Answer 6

I don't know.  I think his words are just overblown.  Everyone's words are overblown by the media.  Its a mess and annoying- that's why I kind of have reduced my examination of the news.  I got tired of it.

Answer 7

Whether or not your statement is true it is a fact that Obama is the press's favorite to win the election. That being said, how objective is the press really? Not very, is my guess. In such a case, ageism trumps racism.

Answer 8

The press puts a lot of spin on it on BOTH sides, you've seen Fox "FAIR AND BALANCED" right?
