About The Media Bloggers Association
The Media Bloggers Association is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting, protecting and educating its members; supporting the development of "blogging" or "citizen journalism" as a distinct form of media; and helping to extend the power of the press, with all the rights and responsibilities that entails, to every citizen.
MBA Members support the freewheeling expression of ideas and strong personal opinions inherent to blogging but are equally committed to commonly accepted journalistic standards of fairness, accuracy, transparency and accountability in expressing those ideas and opinions.
McCain Lacking in Substance
For someone like senator McCain who spent more than 25 years in the congress, was given so many opportunities to travel the world, he should have shown a command on the issues and a depth in proposing solutions. But senator McCain was very superficial, busy telling people that senator Obama did not understand, did not have the experience, etc. It was unnecessary for senator McCain to be wasting precious time by saying all these clichés instead of giving robust and experienced answers to questions. People could tell whether senator Obama understood the issues or not. The truth of the matter is that senator Obama showed more understanding, more depth and more concrete responses than senator McCain who was rather vague, combative and tense, as well as superficial.
