Howard Kurtz writes The Anger Factor in the Washington Post about how the media is starting to get mad at the McCain campaign.
"News outlets are increasingly challenging false or questionable claims by the McCain campaign, whether it's the ad accusing Obama of supporting sex-ed for kindergartners (the Illinois legislation clearly describes "age-appropriate" programs) or Palin's repeated boast that she stopped the Bridge to Nowhere (after she had supported it, and after Congress had effectively killed the specific earmark)."
Scott McClellan's book (as best as I can figure out from his interviews I haven't read it), said the actions of Bush administration (propaganda) came from being in a permanent campaign mode and was caused by being in the myopic Washington culture. Given that McCain has hired lots of Bush people, I'm pretty sure it was deliberate.
