We'll never know if he did "attack the press" any more or less than any other campaign blogger. The <a href="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainreport/" rel="nofollow">"McCain Report" blog</a> is now completely offline. Over the last few years, I'd made efforts to preserve early blogs from earlier election cycles -- see <a href="http://www.campaigntrails.org/" rel="nofollow">CampaignTrails</a>. Whoops, I forgot to do it for McCain's blog. I'll check with my contacts at the LoC to see if they preserved it. Deeds, not words, is how I judge the man.

Everyone, including journalists, pick sides.... and then do whatever is necessary to fight for their side. I hope that we are leaving this era behind.
