Maybe that alone could persuade media folks to gear up those fact-checking skills and start calling out the ad as false?

Nope, the media is buying it hook, line and sinker. Some jamoke from Dallas was just opining on MSNBC that McCain's "hitting his stride" as an attacker with the latest ad, never stopping for once to consider that its a bald-faced lie beneath contempt for anyone seeking to become POTUS to blatantly claim and use.

In the immortal words of Pogo, "We've seen the enemy and the enemy is us."
