Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

What's the news today?

I did watch a report by NBC's Kelly O'Donnell on John McCain this morning. She talked about his fundraising efforts, but failed to mention McCain is breaking the law. Big surprise. Now that campaign finance issue might be too complicated for O'Donnell, which is plausible. More likely, she just likes riding on the bus with McCain and hearing his stories. Editors and producers should be on the lookout for that behavior from their reporters. That happened in 2000 when Bush gave reporters nicknames -- and they all LOVED it. Don't think it didn't warp the coverage. If you don't think it's happening, read Glenn Greenwald's post, "The guys from the Politico brought my mom flowers" -- and watch the video by Meghan McCain.

Start your threading.
