Hannity and Limbaugh are not journalist but talk show hosts who share their opinion with the public. Thank God we have those two plus Mark Levin and others or we would never get any real news. All we get frlom most print and sound media are their liberal slants on everything. Hannity and Limbaugh did not slant their opinions on McCain, they discussed his actual record. He is a media darlin during the primaries but the media will turn on him like Kennedy did Bush when the real campaign starts. Thanks to Hannity, Rush, etc. we know more than that McCain is a war hero. We know he voted against the Bush tax cuts, wanted open borders, wants to close Gitmo, is against interrorgating terrorist except to ask them politely what they know (get real) and wants to gove 12 to 20 millions illegal aliens who have invaded the USA a path to citizenship. I will vote for McCain becaue he ius not Obama or Clinton. At least he has some conservative blood and will fight the War on Terror in soite of his views on so called toture.
