Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks - How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?

If it's Sunday, you know that it's time for John McCain to show up on one of the bobblehead shows. According to Benen, McCain amazingly didn't show up on a single Sunday show through the month of March. However, that's not to say he hasn't been highly visible. Since Obama's inauguration, today's Fox News Sunday appearance marks his 21st on the Sunday shows. And how many times have we seen Dennis Kucinich, Russ Feingold, Al Franken, Barbara Boxer or any other congressional Democrat? Yeah, that's what I thought. McCain has been on the Sunday show circuit more than any other public official. The question for the media is WHY???

I do want to share a tête-à-tête I had on Saturday. One of my Twitter/Facebook "friends" is Jake Tapper, interim host of This Week. Yesterday, he was pimping his interview with former president Bill Clinton, saying that Clinton would address the violent and hateful rhetoric from the left. Well, that just wasn't going to fly with me, and I scolded him for falling for the media's false equivalencies once again. He in turn told me that I needed to chill out, watch the interview and to save my outrage. Don't you love the patronizing attitude? When I tried to explain to him that the very framing was objectionable, he repeated that I needed to watch the interview. So, you, my dear C&Lers, please watch Tapper interview Clinton. But pay attention to the framing of the questions--and you tell me, is Tapper setting up another false equivalency? If he is, I'm going to call him on it and invite him to respond here on the blog.
