John McCain’s presidential campaign, still bitter over The New York Times refusal of his editorial on Iraq, is now making new accusations of media bias. Last Friday’s Times featured a glowing review of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight, and McCain is apparently furious about it. McCain told reporters Wednesday, “Of course the media is going to like something about a ‘dark’ knight.”
Some reporters in the crowd tried to explain to Mr. McCain that, in fact, comparing Mr. Obama to a dark knight might be seen as racist. “I know what I read, ” replied McCain. “You all love this guy. He’s your white knight in shining armor. You just had to change a word.”
He then went on a long rant about how throughout history the dark knight had been a sign of villainy and distrust. “Haven’t any of you in the press ever seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? I suppose you would have liked if that dark knight had bit his ankles?” McCain, however, stumbled and seem confused when mention was made of the Martin Lawrence comedy The Black Knight, and its flogging at the hands of critics.
