WHAT?

This is a serious story on CNN.com. I think they’re trying to say it’s a blog post, but it’s a story. I’ll just paste in the top part here:

A new Obama ad accuses McCain of lying to change the subject on the trail.

A new Obama ad accuses McCain of lying to change the subject on the trail.

(CNN) — Hours before they face each other on stage at the second presidential debate, John McCain and Barack Obama each accused the other of deliberate deception in new attack spots released Tuesday.

Earlier: The word “lie” becomes a trail mainstay

"Who is Barack Obama?" asks the announcer in the new 30-second McCain spot, “Hypo.”

The ad includes footage from a Missouri television station that reported "Obama's presidential campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad"....

In “Subject,” the Obama camp continues to paint McCain as dishonest and out-of-touch, using a quote from an anonymous campaign aide to the Republican nominee that appeared in Monday’s Daily News: "If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose."

“He’s out of ideas. Out of touch. And running out of time. But with no plan to lift our economy up, John McCain wants to tear Barack Obama down. With smears that have been proven false,” says the narrator in the 30-second spot.]

WAIT– HOLD THE PRESSES! The candidates are blaming one another and trying to say the other candidate is a liar? Totally new strategies. Unexpected. Thank you, CNN for your services to the country. This is also like the #2 “blog” post on wordpress behind Miley Cyrus’ Sweet 16 Disneyland Guest List. Magical! Please don’t be stupid–media, America. End rant.
