I don't care what Frank Rich says, John Hagee IS a kook. He just leads a large group of kooks.

Are we really to believe that neither Mr. McCain nor his camp knew anything then about Mr. Hagee’s views?
Ehh, got to here before I got too pissed off.

While individuals in the media clearly have a bias for or against a particular candidate the media as a whole gravitates to mellowdrama and contrived "controversy" because it's easier than real journalism. When the BBC reports on this issue they mainly report on the obsession of the American media on it, and do so as a sad testament of our "Fourth Branch."
