Any number of stories I've read describe in detail how cursory McCain's economic/energy policy is and that McCain will lie right to your face with no fear of retribution from the media.
The Financial Times
Obama holds bipartisan economy talks:
"Mr McCain???s tax and spending proposals would add an estimated $3,400bn to the US deficit over the next decade compared with an estimated $700bn deficit reduction from Mr Obama???s plans, according to the Tax Policy Center, an independent think-tank. "

Will the Real Tax-and-Spender Please ???Fess Up?
???McCain is picking the areas where rates go up and ignoring the areas where Obama is trying to rebalance the tax code so that taxpayers would save,??? said John Irons, research and policy director at the Economic Policy Institute, which is generally viewed as sympathetic to working families. Mr. Irons said that ???the important thing is to look at overall impact on people??? and that on this score, ???the vast majority of the population, almost the entirety of the middle class, would see more from Obama than McCain.???
Economists have also criticized the methodology behind Mr. McCain???s assertion that Americans from all kinds of backgrounds could end up paying thousands of dollars more in taxes if Mr. Obama got his way. Several criticized him as apparently basing his claim on an average figure in which, as Mr. Irons said, ???Bill Gates is mixed with you and me, and everything gets skewed.???

McCain's Power Outage
Contradictions and misstatements short-circuit McCain's energy policy pronouncements.

John McCain claimed that he is determined to ensure "equal pay for equal work." But women's groups were quick to point out that the presumptive Republican nominee has announced his opposition to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act which seeks to do exactly that.

The media is only as liberal as the giant corporations that own it.
