Trail of Tall Tales - Fox News
Sen. John McCain has long presented himself as that rare bird in politics: an inveterate straight-shooter. But does campaign strain have McCain’s Straight Talk Express veering off course?
A string of incidents stemming from the senator’s two presidential runs suggests he’s no less fallible than any other candidate — and just as capable of adjusting facts to suit his purpose.
1. Confederate Flag Over South Carolina Capitol, April 19, 2000
During the run-up to the South Carolina Republican primary in February 2000, McCain was asked whether he felt the Confederate flag should be removed from atop the statehouse.
Non-truth: McCain stated publicly that it was up to South Carolinians to decide.
Truth: Two months later McCain said he believed “the flag should be removed” from the Capitol. “I feared that if I answered honestly, I could not win the South Carolina primary. So I chose to compromise my principles,” he said. “I broke my promise to always tell the truth.”

Rupert Murdoch
This is just my own opinion, but I don't think Rupert Murdoch is a Republican as we understand the meaning of the term. What hs is is an internationalist businessman.
Here is his campaign contribution report:

Notice that he maxed out his contribution to Hillary Clinton.
Internationalist businesses logically can be expected to support whoever and whatever will further their own interests. I.E. whatever CFR candidate who can win.
I figure that Murdoch has assessed McCain and now sees him as this year's Bob Dole.
Please stop watching Fox news and
posting here about what they are doing.
They are part of the control grid and we come here to get away from it.
Have seen how they treat Dr. Paul?
They are owned by Murdoch. Do you know who he is?
Good God in Heaven, who cares what they say or think.
By the way, they have the worst ratings in TV news history.
I know this
But I am curious as to why they would bash their own man. I will limit discussions about fox then.
mccain isn't their man.
mccain isn't their man. Hillary is.
