Wow, you guys sound like my two year old whining so much. Hey, it easier than talking about the financial crisis, I guess.

A relatively small number of personality types may agree with ArtDodgerin in appreciating steely resolve, but on balance I agree with Lex. Even the blind can see that the Media is so far in the tank that they’ve merged with it’s inner surface to become part of the tank itself.

Personally, I think the cover shot makes McCain look steely, resolved, and very leader-like. Sure, he wouldn’t want it on his dating profile, but who votes for a soft-lit pretty boy? Should they have put a rose in his teeth like they do with Obama?

This dingbat Greenberg has ruined her career and ultimately provided a boost for McCain. The Atlantic got a big black eye — they say they will not pay her, and are considering legal action. I just don’t see strong evidence that the shenanigans extend to them.

Of course, I haven’t read the whole article yet…

I get the Atlantic. It used to be good. Once Michael Kelly died, it gravitated back to being a plain vanilla squishy-Lefty magazine. The book reviews and Robert Kaplan, the odd good article, and tne low price, make me keep subscribing.

But there is zero doubt that the cover is a hit job on McCain. The Atlantic, like the rest of the MSM is in the tank for The One, The Only Messiah.

They had to have seen the other photos that they didn’t use. They didn’t notice a pattern? Their decades of journalistic experience didn’t warn them that there was something wrong?

Wait a minute, isn’t this the same magazine that employs Andrew Sullivan? How could they possibly be against John McCain?
