Ten, what do YOU think is the proper level of coverage for the Obama/Ayers "relationship"? I think it's far less close than the McCain/Keating relationship was, and less damning. I'm not aware that Ayers and Obama ever hung out socially, or went on trips together, as Keating and McCain did - on Keating's jet and dime.

>Lots of evidence, but the latest example is their coverage of McCain's attacks on the Obama-Ayers relationship. They spent so much time portraying Ayers as a model citizen for his local community, they were absolutely perplexed as to why Republicans would even go after him. Only a brief mention of Ayers' past with Weather Underground, and absolutely no mention of Ayers being unrepentant of his terrorist past.

Because the Ayers story is stupid and there's no there there!

>That's no secret, but if FOXNews is "Fix News," what does that make CBS who zealously ran "fake but true" memos from Abilene, TX?

They thought they had a scoop and they ran with it. It happens. I don't think that proves anything.

>The only "proof" the professor provided was a link to the sponsors of that ad.

If it isn't true, then the professor shouldn't be saying it. It certainly is suspicious, though.
