		<description>I get about ten books sent to me every week. I'm a slow reader, so I can't begin to get to them all. But I keep the ones that I hope to get to some day. Here are a few interesting ones in my ready-to-topple-over reading stack: Teeny Bikini #4, by Robert Ullman. I actually did read this one already. It was easy, because it doesn't have any words, just wonderful little pencil sketches of cartoon cuties. I didn't see Issue #4 for sale on Rob's site, but you can buy earlier volumes there, along with other books and stickers.Porn Soup, by Paul Krassner. This anthology of sex-related essays were written by Paul Krassner, the founder of The Realist and one of my cultural heroes. I've read a few of the pieces in here, and they're funny, profound, and revealing, which is what I've come to expect from Paul. Essays include: Susie Bright Interviews Paul Krassner, Lenny Bruce Meets Blow Job Betty, In Praise of Indecency Masturbation Helper, The Man Behind The Aristocrats, Showing Pink, Pee-Wee Herman Meets Pete Townshend, Satirical Prophecy, The Marriage of Hip-Hop and Pornography, Porn and the Manson Murders, Rape and Porn, Bizarre Sexually Oriented Spam Subject Lines, Meet an FBI Porn Squad Agent, Remembering Pubic Hair, The Taste of Sperm, Disinformation Porn, Hobo Sex and Crack Whore Confessions, Eating Shit for Fun and Profit, Porn Dogs, "I Fuck Dead People," Porn Provides Product Placement, Addicted to Porn, Women and Porn. Boy's Club 2, by Matt Furie. A comic book about the non-adventures of four post-adolescent, near-imbecilic, prank-playing, dope-smoking humanimals. I expect Judd Apatow will option this. Doctor Olaf van Schuler's Brain, by Kirsten Menger-Anderson. I haven't started this novel, but it looks promising. The inside flap copy says it's about several generations of peculiar medical doctors, whose techniques involve spontaneous combustion, animal magnetism, phrenology, and lobotomies. I'm going to sneak this one higher up on my stack. Porn &amp; Pong: How Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture, by Damon Brown. This one has a cover by our pal Coop, and was published by our pals at Feral House. Looking forward to reading this one, too. From the jacket copy: When the VCR first became commonly available, and the modern porn industry?s sales skyrocketed, Atari systems, with their phallic joysticks, also seized the American mind. In Porn and Pong, Playboy journalist Damon Brown reveals how these businesses have blossomed, intersected and affected our culture....</description>

		<title>{ISSUES &gt; BIAS AND BALANCE} - Media Matters: The media's enduring pro-McCain double standard</title>
		<link>http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/media-matters-the-media-s-enduring-pro-mccain-double-20081050515.htm</link>

		<description>

It isn't surprising that the conventional
wisdom is that the news media have turned on Sen. John McCain. After all, decades of attacks from
conservatives have conditioned reporters to believe that they are biased
against Republicans --
even when there is scant evidence in the reporting to support such claims. And the McCain campaign has
launched an all-out assault on the media, complaining relentlessly about the
coverage its candidate
has gotten. 

On top of all that, McCain historically has been the
recipient of the most favorable media coverage of any politician in modern
American history. Reporters
spent years all but offering to peel McCain a grape. So,
just as the media judge a candidate to have "won" a debate if s/he
"exceeds expectations," the fact that McCain's coverage
hasn't been as hagiographic as expected has led many to conclude that it
has actually been unfairly negative.

The truth is that when John McCain says "jump,"
the media still ask,
"How high?" Think about this: When was
the last time McCain or his campaign has wanted the news media to focus on
something, and they have refused? From
"lipstick on a pig" to Bill Ayers, the media have scampered after whatever mud McCain has
flung, like a puppy dog chasing a stick thrown by its master. Sure, sometimes they have pointed out that
McCain is lying -- and
that's tremendous progress for a profession that has spent a decade
flatly asserting McCain's honesty. But -- as I've explained in
the past -- even as they've debunked McCain's claims,
they've too often privileged the lie
by allowing those claims to drive their coverage.

And, increasingly, they uncritically quote McCain campaign attacks
on Sen. Barack Obama
for things McCain himself has done. When
a campaign does something like this, the media often point out the hypocrisy,
and the attack backfires. But
those rules don't apply to John McCain. So when John and Cindy McCain attack Barack
Obama for what they describe as a vote to "cut off the funds for the
troops," the news media dutifully repeat
the charge -- without
noting that, by the
same logic, McCain also voted to
cut off funds for the troops: Obama voted against a funding bill that did not
include a timeline for withdrawal; McCain voted against a bill that did include a timeline for withdrawal. 

The funding vote has been the subject of some of
McCain's nastiest attacks recently. Cindy McCain, for example, claimed
Obama's "vote to not fund my son when he was serving sent a cold
chill through my body" and lectured: "I would suggest that Senator Obama change shoes with me for just one
day. ... I suggest
he take a day and go watch our fine
young men and women deploy." You would think, then, that media reporting
Cindy McCain's purported indignation would note that John McCain also
voted against funding. They haven't. Indeed, some have falsely stated the
opposite -- that McCain did not cast such a vote. You might even think reporters would ask the
McCain campaign if Cindy McCain got a "cold chill" when her husband
voted "to not
fund [her] son." But there is no indication that any
reporter has done so.

But the best indication that McCain has not yet truly
"lost his 'base,' "
as The Atlantic's Marc
Ambinder put
it this week, is the glaring media double standard in covering the two presidential
candidates' controversial relationships.

Let's start with Bill Ayers, since the news media have spent much of the week
obliging McCain's efforts to make him the focus of the campaign. As an activist in the 1960s -- when Barack Obama was a
young child -- Bill Ayers was a member of the Weathermen, a group of radical
activists who launched a series of violent demonstrations and bombings in protest of the Vietnam War. Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois
in Chicago and a school reform advocate. During Obama's first
campaign, Ayers hosted a coffee for him, and the two men have served together
on the board of a school reform effort funded by a foundation chaired by Leonore Annenberg, who has endorsed John McCain. The New York Times concluded
that Obama and Ayers "do not appear to have been close," and Obama
has denounced Ayers'
actions as a member of the Weathermen.

A search*
of the Nexis database found
that more than 4,500 news reports so far this year have mentioned Obama and
Ayers -- more than
1,800 this week alone.

Now: G. Gordon Liddy. Liddy served four and a half
years in prison for his role in the break-ins at the Watergate and at Daniel
Ellsberg's psychologist's office. He has acknowledged preparing to kill someone
during the Ellsberg break-in "if
necessary." He
plotted to kill journalist Jack Anderson. He plotted with a "gangland
figure" to murder Howard Hunt in order to thwart an investigation. He plotted to firebomb the
Brookings Institution. He
used Nazi terminology to outline a plan to kidnap "leftist
guerillas" at the 1972 GOP convention. And Liddy's bad acts were not confined
to the early 1970s. In
the 1990s, he instructed
his radio audience on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms
agents ("Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof
vests." In case
anyone missed the subtlety of his point, Liddy also insisted: "Kill the sons of bitches.") During Bill Clinton's
presidency, Liddy boasted that he named his shooting targets after the Clintons.

What does Liddy have to do with the presidential election? As Media Matters has noted:


Liddy has donated
$5,000 to McCain's campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February
2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy's radio show during the
presidential campaign, including as recently as May.
An online video labeled, "John McCain On The G. Gordon
Liddy Show 11/8/07," includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom
Liddy described as an "old friend." During the segment, McCain
praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep
our nation great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that
"it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program."


McCain even backed Liddy's
son's congressional
bid in 2000 -- a
campaign that relied
heavily on the elder Liddy's history.

To sum up: John McCain is "proud" of his
"old friend" Gordon Liddy --
an old friend who plotted to kill one of the most respected journalists in
American history, and who urged listeners to kill federal agents and advised
them on how to do so. McCain
campaigned for Liddy's son, and Liddy has even hosted a fundraiser for
McCain at his home.

So McCain's relationship with Liddy is pretty much a
direct parallel to Obama's relationship with Ayers. Except that McCain and Liddy have apparently
spent time together more recently than Obama and Ayers. And Liddy's extremist activities
continued well into the 1990s, at least. And Liddy says he and McCain are "old
friends," while The New York Times says Obama and Ayers aren't
close. And Obama has
never said Ayers
adheres to "the principles and philosophies that keep our nation
great." Other
than all that, it's a direct parallel.

Yet even as they obsess over Barack Obama and Bill Ayers -- just as the McCain
campaign tells them to --
the news media have all
but ignored John McCain's close ties to Gordon Liddy. A Nexis search** finds fewer than 100 news reports that have
mentioned McCain and Liddy this year.

As Chicago Tribune
columnist Steve Chapman --
who has criticized Obama's relationship with Ayers -- has noted:


Liddy, now a conservative radio
host, has never expressed regret for this attempt to subvert the Constitution.
Nor has he developed any respect for the law. ... Yet none of this bothers McCain. Liddy has
contributed thousands of dollars to his campaigns, held a fundraiser for McCain
at his home and hosted the senator on his radio show, where McCain said,
"I'm proud of you." Exactly which part of Liddy's record is McCain
proud of? 

While Obama has gotten lots of scrutiny
for his connection to Ayers, McCain has never had to explain his association
with Liddy. If he can't defend it, he should admit as much. And if he thinks he
can defend it, let him.


To repeat:

2008 news reports that mention
     Obama and Ayers: more than 4,500.


2008 news reports that mention
     McCain and Liddy: fewer than 100.


Incredibly, The Atlantic's
Ambinder today suggests
that the media have not covered Ayers: "To truly drive Ayers into the
public conversation, to trick what they consider an irredeemably biased press
corps into biting, McCain has three vehicles gassed up and ready to go. ...
So far, McCain has done none of those things." There are 1,800 Nexis hits for Barack Obama
and Bill Ayers in the past week,
and yet Marc Ambinder thinks the media have not bitten on the Ayers "story"
-- and that McCain, who
is running ads about Ayers, isn't "really serious" about
pushing it, anyway. Even
Steve Schmidt would likely be too embarrassed to try to claim that the media
have not covered Bill Ayers. 

Incidentally, Ambinder doesn't seem to have ever
mentioned McCain's relationship to Liddy.

Not only have the media avoided stand-alone reports on McCain and Liddy, they
consistently fail to bring up the connection when reporting on McCain's
attacks on Obama's ties to Ayers, or in interviews with McCain staff who
bring up Ayers. The
McCain/Liddy relationship is such an obvious parallel -- except arguably much worse -- that it's hard to
imagine how any evenhanded journalist could possibly justify ignoring it. Yet it happens again and again. And, needless to say, McCain
aides do not get badgered about Liddy the way Time's Mark Halperin badgered Obama
aide Robert Gibbs about Ayers.

Just this morning, NBC's Chuck Todd said he is
"sure" Ayers will come up during the final presidential debate next
week, adding that moderator Bob Schieffer "may feel no choice but to
bring it up" in light of the "TV ads" the McCain campaign and
Republican National Committee are running. Setting aside the absurdity of the
suggestion that a debate moderator is compelled to bring up a topic simply
because John McCain is running ads about it, if Schieffer does ask about Ayers,
basic fairness demands that he ask McCain about Liddy as well.

OK
... moving on. How
about controversial religious figures?
Earlier this year, Media
Matters showed
that The
New York Times and The Washington Post had published a total of 161 articles,
editorials, and opinion pieces that mentioned Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright -- and only 12 that mentioned
John McCain and John Hagee. That
disparity wasn't unique to the Times
and the Post -- and it hasn't evened out over time.

161 to 12.

Land deals? Barack
Obama once bought a parcel of land from a controversial donor named Tony Rezko. Obama paid more than the land's assessed value -- but that hasn't
stopped the news media from suggesting Obama had an improper relationship with
Rezko. 

Comparatively little attention has been paid to John
McCain's relationship with real estate developer Donald Diamond. Diamond, a co-chair of
McCain's campaign finance committee, has raised more than $250,000 for
McCain's presidential bid and is a "close personal friend"
and longtime political patron. For
his part, McCain has sponsored two bills sought by Diamond that helped the
developer gain what The New York Times described
as "millions of dollars and thousands of acres" of land. And McCain helped Diamond
buy another parcel of land from the U.S. Army -- a deal that helped Diamond turn a $20
million profit. The Washington
Post and USA Today
have identified other land deals McCain has facilitated as senator that have benefited some of his
biggest donors and fundraisers. 

Yet a Media Matters
review last
month found that five national newspapers had run a total of 39 articles, editorials,
and opinion pieces that mentioned Obama and Rezko -- but only seven that mentioned McCain and his
donors' land deals:


[S]ince The New York Times' initial
April 22 article [about McCain and Diamond], the land deals have been mentioned
in only six additional news articles, editorials, or opinion pieces in the Los Angeles Times,
The New York Times,
USA Today,
The Wall Street Journal,
or The Washington Post,
and have yet to be mentioned on any evening network news program. By contrast,
during the same time period, 39 news articles, editorials, or opinion pieces in
those papers have collectively mentioned Obama and Rezko; and the evening news
broadcasts have collectively mentioned Obama and Rezko in five reports.


39 to 7.

And, of course, there's always Charles Keating. The news media have done
their best to ignore
McCain's involvement in the Keating Five -- and, when they have mentioned it,
they've done so by parroting the McCain-friendly storyline that the
scandal turned the Arizona
senator into the World's Greatest Reformer. Even this week, after the Obama campaign drew
attention to McCain's involvement in the Keating Five with a Web page and a 13-minute
documentary featuring one of the regulators McCain pressured on behalf of his
political benefactor, the media have
paid far more attention to Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers than to
McCain's relationship with
Keating. And when they have mentioned Keating, they have often questioned
the propriety of the Obama campaign's decision to bring up the subject.

Remember: Barack Obama didn't have anything to do with
Bill Ayers' wrongdoing. He
was a young child at the time. McCain
did have something to do with
Keating's wrongdoing --
without McCain, the scandal would have been called the Keating Four, not the
Keating Five.

And yet the media are quick to dismiss the Keating matter. When the topic came up on
MSNBC earlier this week, Andrea Mitchell dismissed it as having occurred 20 years ago. Well, sure. But McCain was involved in it 20
years ago, unlike Bill
Ayers' controversial activities, which occurred closer to 40 years ago, and which
Barack Obama didn't have anything to do with.

The American people have made clear that they think the most
important consideration in deciding who to vote for is the economy. An
astounding 52 percent of Americans call "the economy and jobs" the
"most important" issue to them in this election, according to the
latest CBS/New York Times poll.
Terrorism and national security came in a distant second, with only 11 percent.

John McCain and his campaign have made clear that they do
not want the last few weeks of this campaign to be about the economy, the war in Iraq,
Afghanistan, health care,
the housing crisis, or
the Constitution. They
want it to be about personal associations. 

Incredibly, much of the news media have sided with John McCain in treating Bill
Ayers and ACORN as the most important topic facing the nation. Even worse, they
are scrutinizing only Obama's relationships, not McCain's.
It's bad enough that they're letting McCain, rather than the
American people, set the parameters of the debate. The fact that they
aren't applying those parameters to both candidates equally is an
inexcusable double-standard.

And it's evidence that John McCain retains the support
of his "base" -- the media.

It isn't surprising that the conventional
wisdom is that the news media have turned on Sen. John McCain. After all, decades of attacks from
conservatives have conditioned reporters to believe that they are biased
against Republicans --
even when there is scant evidence in the reporting to support such claims. And the McCain campaign has
launched an all-out assault on the media, complaining relentlessly about the
coverage its candidate
has gotten. 

On top of all that, McCain historically has been the
recipient of the most favorable media coverage of any politician in modern
American history. Reporters
spent years all but offering to peel McCain a grape. So,
just as the media judge a candidate to have "won" a debate if s/he
"exceeds expectations," the fact that McCain's coverage
hasn't been as hagiographic as expected has led many to conclude that it
has actually been unfairly negative.

The truth is that when John McCain says "jump,"
the media still ask,
"How high?" Think about this: When was
the last time McCain or his campaign has wanted the news media to focus on
something, and they have refused? From
"lipstick on a pig" to Bill Ayers, the media have scampered after whatever mud McCain has
flung, like a puppy dog chasing a stick thrown by its master. Sure, sometimes they have pointed out that
McCain is lying -- and
that's tremendous progress for a profession that has spent a decade
flatly asserting McCain's honesty. But -- as I've explained in
the past -- even as they've debunked McCain's claims,
they've too often privileged the lie
by allowing those claims to drive their coverage.

And, increasingly, they uncritically quote McCain campaign attacks
on Sen. Barack Obama
for things McCain himself has done. When
a campaign does something like this, the media often point out the hypocrisy,
and the attack backfires. But
those rules don't apply to John McCain. So when John and Cindy McCain attack Barack
Obama for what they describe as a vote to "cut off the funds for the
troops," the news media dutifully repeat
the charge -- without
noting that, by the
same logic, McCain also voted to
cut off funds for the troops: Obama voted against a funding bill that did not
include a timeline for withdrawal; McCain voted against a bill that did include a timeline for withdrawal. 

The funding vote has been the subject of some of
McCain's nastiest attacks recently. Cindy McCain, for example, claimed
Obama's "vote to not fund my son when he was serving sent a cold
chill through my body" and lectured: "I would suggest that Senator Obama change shoes with me for just one
day. ... I suggest
he take a day and go watch our fine
young men and women deploy." You would think, then, that media reporting
Cindy McCain's purported indignation would note that John McCain also
voted against funding. They haven't. Indeed, some have falsely stated the
opposite -- that McCain did not cast such a vote. You might even think reporters would ask the
McCain campaign if Cindy McCain got a "cold chill" when her husband
voted "to not
fund [her] son." But there is no indication that any
reporter has done so.

But the best indication that McCain has not yet truly
"lost his 'base,' "
as The Atlantic's Marc
Ambinder put
it this week, is the glaring media double standard in covering the two presidential
candidates' controversial relationships.

Let's start with Bill Ayers, since the news media have spent much of the week
obliging McCain's efforts to make him the focus of the campaign. As an activist in the 1960s -- when Barack Obama was a
young child -- Bill Ayers was a member of the Weathermen, a group of radical
activists who launched a series of violent demonstrations and bombings in protest of the Vietnam War. Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois
in Chicago and a school reform advocate. During Obama's first
campaign, Ayers hosted a coffee for him, and the two men have served together
on the board of a school reform effort funded by a foundation chaired by Leonore Annenberg, who has endorsed John McCain. The New York Times concluded
that Obama and Ayers "do not appear to have been close," and Obama
has denounced Ayers'
actions as a member of the Weathermen.

A search*
of the Nexis database found
that more than 4,500 news reports so far this year have mentioned Obama and
Ayers -- more than
1,800 this week alone.

Now: G. Gordon Liddy. Liddy served four and a half
years in prison for his role in the break-ins at the Watergate and at Daniel
Ellsberg's psychologist's office. He has acknowledged preparing to kill someone
during the Ellsberg break-in "if
necessary." He
plotted to kill journalist Jack Anderson. He plotted with a "gangland
figure" to murder Howard Hunt in order to thwart an investigation. He plotted to firebomb the
Brookings Institution. He
used Nazi terminology to outline a plan to kidnap "leftist
guerillas" at the 1972 GOP convention. And Liddy's bad acts were not confined
to the early 1970s. In
the 1990s, he instructed
his radio audience on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms
agents ("Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof
vests." In case
anyone missed the subtlety of his point, Liddy also insisted: "Kill the sons of bitches.") During Bill Clinton's
presidency, Liddy boasted that he named his shooting targets after the Clintons.

				Do you suspect your teenager is only begging you to buy a 2010 Ford Focus as soon as it hits the dealership so he can turn up the radio and flog it on the highway? Ford thinks so, which is why the automaker introduced MyKey. 
				A special key made for new drivers, MyKey limits top speeds and radio volume while introducing a host of new warning tones. Drivers who fail to buckle their seat belts or who ignore their fuel gauge are alerted with a series of alarms that escalate from early-warning Louie Anderson to full-on Gilbert Gottfried.
				The feature will be available first on the 2010 Focus and will appear on other Ford models in the near future. "MyKey can help promote safer driving,
particularly among teens, by encouraging seat belt use, limiting speed
and reducing distractions," said Susan Cischke, Ford group vice president of sustainability, environment
and safety engineering, in a

				Do you suspect your teenager is only begging you to buy a 2010 Ford Focus as soon as it hits the dealership so he can turn up the radio and flog it on the highway? Ford thinks so, which is why the automaker introduced MyKey. 
				A special key made for new drivers, MyKey limits top speeds and radio volume while introducing a host of new warning tones. Drivers who fail to buckle their seat belts or who ignore their fuel gauge are alerted with a series of alarms that escalate from early-warning Louie Anderson to full-on Gilbert Gottfried.
				The feature will be available first on the 2010 Focus and will appear on other Ford models in the near future. "MyKey can help promote safer driving,
particularly among teens, by encouraging seat belt use, limiting speed
and reducing distractions," said Susan Cischke, Ford group vice president of sustainability, environment
and safety engineering, in a 
					press release.

On the October 7 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, CNN correspondent
Louise Schiavone aired a video clip of Chicago
Tribune columnist Steve Chapman criticizing Sen. Barack Obama for
what host Lou Dobbs described as Obama's "relationship with 1960s
radical terrorist William Ayers." But
neither Schiavone nor Dobbs noted that Chapman has also
repeatedly
criticized
Sen. John McCain for his association with the person Chapman has called
McCain's "own Bill Ayers" -- radio host and convicted
Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy --
and has written
that "[i]f Obama needs to answer questions about Ayers, McCain has the
same obligation regarding Liddy." Indeed, in a post
published on his Tribune blog
earlier on October 7, Chapman wrote: "While Obama has gotten lots of
scrutiny for his connection to Ayers, McCain has never had to explain his
association with Liddy. If he can't defend it, he should admit as much. And if
he thinks he can defend it, let him."

According to a search of the Nexis database, CNN has yet to mention McCain's
association with Liddy during the 2008 presidential campaign -- from McCain's November 15, 2006, announcement
that he was planning to form a presidential exploratory committee through
October 6, 2008.*

As Media
Matters for America has documented in detail, Liddy served four
and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role
in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of
Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has
acknowledged
preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if
necessary"; plotting
to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting
with a "gangland figure" to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from
cooperating with investigators; plotting
to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting
to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 Republican National
Convention -- a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed
from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never
carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed
his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting
targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Liddy has donated
$5,000 to McCain's campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February
2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy's radio show during the
presidential campaign, including as recently as May.
An online video labeled, "John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy
Show 11/8/07,"
includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an
"old friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's
"adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation
great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's
always a pleasure for me to come on your program."

Additionally, in 1998, Liddy reportedly held
a fundraiser at his home for McCain. Liddy was reportedly scheduled to speak at
another fundraiser for McCain in 2000. The Charlotte Observer reported on
January 23, 2000, that McCain's campaign vouched for Liddy's
"character":


[McCain] campaign officials said
Liddy's character will appeal to many voters because he was following orders
from President Nixon and kept silent afterward.

"His (Liddy's) judgment might
be in question, but I don't think his character is," said Ed Walker, the York County
chairman of McCain's campaign. "He was following orders just like any good
soldier, and he didn't tell on anybody. He felt like he was on a mission and
kept his silence." 

Liddy's 2000 speech was reportedly
canceled due to bad weather.


As Media Matters
previously noted,
in an October 4 article,
The
New York Times quoted Chapman
denouncing Obama's association with Ayers but did not note Chapman's
denunciations of McCain for his association with Liddy.

From the October 7 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight:


DOBBS: One topic that is very likely
to come up in tonight's debate is Senator Barack Obama's
relationship with 1960s radical terrorist William Ayers. The McCain campaign
says the relationship raises serious concerns about Senator Obama's
judgment and his character. Louise Schiavone joins me now with more on the
Obama-Ayers relationship. Louise.

SCHIAVONE: Lou, Barack Obama and
'60s radical William Ayers go back at least 13 years, when it's
reported they were introduced in a Democratic Party ally's living room.
They've collaborated on community projects since then, although Obama
rejects suggestions that he and Ayers are allies in radical politics. But,
there are skeptics.

OBAMA [video clip]: The notion that
somehow, as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts
40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values
doesn't make much sense.

CHAPMAN [video clip]: I think it
does make sense. I think Ayers is a guy who set off a bomb in the United States
Capitol, in the same Capitol where Barack Obama serves as a senator. I mean, he
was a guy who was at war with the American Democratic system.

SCHIAVONE: Ayers, in fact, is
famously quoted in The New York Times in 2001, before the 9-11
attacks, as having said of the Weather Underground violence, quote, "I
don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough," end
quote. Obama directed $50 million in Annenberg Challenge grants to various
programs in Chicago
schools, including some Ayers education projects. Annenberg funds also went to
a left-wing community action group called ACORN, which, as you know, Lou, is
now under investigation for voter fraud and embezzlement. 

DOBBS: In a number of jurisdictions,
shall we say. Louise, thank you very much. Louise Schiavone.

On October 4, The New
York Times published a 2,140-word front-page article about Sen.
Barack Obama's association with former Weather Underground member William
Ayers -- at least the 18th Times article
this year mentioning that association. But the Times
has yet to mention, let alone devote an entire article to, Sen. John
McCain's relationship with radio host and convicted Watergate burglar G.
Gordon Liddy. Indeed, in its October 4 article, the Times quoted Chicago
Tribune columnist Steve Chapman denouncing Obama's association
with Ayers but did not note that Chapman has described Liddy as
McCain's "own Bill Ayers" and has written that
"[i]f Obama needs to answer questions about Ayers, McCain has the same
obligation regarding Liddy." The Times,
moreover, quoted McCain criticizing Obama for his association with Ayers
without noting that Chapman has faulted McCain for what Chapman described as McCain's
"howling hypocrisy on the subject."

As Media Matters for
America has noted, Liddy
served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in
and the break-in at the office of
the psychiatrist of Daniel
Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers.
Liddy has acknowledged
preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if
necessary"; plotting
to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting
with a "gangland figure" to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from
cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and
plotting
to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 Republican National
Convention -- a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology
borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder,
firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During
the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions
on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also
reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary
Clinton.

Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain's
campaigns since 1998, including $1,000
in February 2008. In
addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy's radio show during the
presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video
labeled "John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07" includes a
discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an "old
friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's "adherence to the
principles and philosophies that keep our nation great," said he was
"proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's always a pleasure for me
to come on your program."

Additionally, in 1998, Liddy reportedly held a fundraiser at his home for
McCain. Liddy was reportedly scheduled to speak at another fundraiser for McCain in 2000. The Charlotte Observer reported on January 23, 2000, that McCain's
campaign vouched for Liddy's "character": 


His [McCain's] campaign
officials said Liddy's character will appeal to many voters because he was
following orders from President Nixon and kept silent afterward.

"His (Liddy's) judgment might
be in question, but I don't think his character is," said Ed Walker, the York County
chairman of McCain's campaign. "He was following orders just like any good
soldier, and he didn't tell on anybody. He felt like he was on a mission and
kept his silence." 


Liddy's 2000 speech was reportedly
canceled due to bad weather.

Media Matters has documented that as of September
19, the Times had published 15
news articles and four opinion pieces referencing Obama's ties to Ayers. Since then, in
addition to the October 4 article, the Times
has published two more articles mentioning
the association.

But despite having apparently judged Chapman's
opinions on the candidates' controversial associations as being
newsworthy, the Times has ignored
entirely McCain's relationship with Liddy, according to a search of the Nexis database from January 1
through October 4*.

In his May 4 Tribune column, Chapman
wrote: 


What McCain didn't mention is that
he has his own Bill Ayers -- in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a conservative
radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in
the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and
proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far
from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.

How close are McCain and Liddy? At
least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the
site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions
totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns -- including $1,000 this year.

Last November, McCain went on his
radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded
like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed.
"It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and
congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and
philosophies that keep our nation great."

Which principles would those be? The
ones that told Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic
National Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made
him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn't disrupt the 1972
Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan the murder
(never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?

Liddy was in the thick of the
biggest political scandal in American history -- and one of the greatest
threats to the rule of law. He has said he has no regrets about what he did,
insisting that he went to jail as "a prisoner of war."

All this may sound like ancient
history. But it's from the same era as the bombings Ayers helped carry out as a
member of the Weather Underground. And Liddy's penchant for extreme solutions
has not abated.

[...]

Given Liddy's record, it's hard to
see why McCain would touch him with a 10-foot pole. On the contrary, he should
be returning his donations and shunning his show. Yet the senator shows no
qualms about associating with Liddy -- or celebrating his service to their
common cause.

How does McCain explain his howling
hypocrisy on the subject? He doesn't. I made repeated inquiries to his campaign
aides, which they refused to acknowledge, much less answer. On this topic, the
pilot of the Straight Talk Express would rather stay parked in the garage. 

That's
an odd policy for someone who is so forthright about his rival's
responsibility. McCain thinks Obama should apologize for associating with a
criminal extremist. To which Obama might reply: After you.


And in an August 22 blog post about an
anti-Obama ad highlighting Obama's association with Ayers, Chapman wrote:



But conservatives may not want to
draw attention to the issue of ties to violent radicals -- since
John McCain is longtime pals with convicted Watergate burglar Gordon Liddy,
who once plotted a journalist's murder (which was never carried out) and has
advocated the shooting of federal law enforcement agents.

If Obama needs to answer questions
about Ayers, McCain has the same obligation regarding Liddy. How about they
both get started? 


From The New York Times'
October 4 article "Obama and '60s Bomber: A Look Into Crossed
Paths": 


Their relationship has become a
touchstone for opponents of Mr. Obama, the Democratic senator, in his bid for the
presidency. Video clips on YouTube, including a new advertisement that was
broadcast on Friday, juxtapose Mr. Obama's face with the young Mr. Ayers
or grainy shots of the bombings.

In a televised interview last
spring, Senator John McCain, Mr. Obama's Republican rival, asked,
"How can you countenance someone who was engaged in bombings that could
have or did kill innocent people?"

[...]

Since earning a doctorate in
education at Columbia in 1987, Mr. Ayers has
been a professor of education at the University
 of Illinois at Chicago,
the author or editor of 15 books, and an advocate of school reform.

"He's done a lot of good
in this city and nationally," Mayor Richard M. Daley said in an interview
this week, explaining that he has long consulted Mr. Ayers on school issues.
Mr. Daley, whose father was Chicago's mayor during the street violence
accompanying the 1968 Democratic National Convention and the so-called Days of
Rage the following year, said he saw the bombings of that time in the context
of a polarized and turbulent era.

"This is 2008," Mr.
Daley said. "People make mistakes. You judge a person by his whole
life."

That attitude is widely shared in Chicago, but it is not
universal. Steve Chapman, a columnist for The Chicago Tribune, defended Mr. Obama's
relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., his longtime pastor, whose
black liberation theology and "God damn America" sermon became
notorious last spring. But he denounced Mr. Obama for associating with Mr.
Ayers, whom he said the University
 of Illinois should never
have hired.

"I don't think
there's a statute of limitations on terrorist bombings," Mr.
Chapman said in an interview, speaking not of the law but of political and
moral implications.

"If you're in public
life, you ought to say, 'I don't want to be associated with this
guy,' " Mr. Chapman said. "If John McCain had a long
association with a guy who'd bombed abortion clinics, I don't think
people would say, 'That's ancient history.' "
