This is my first diary and i'm not sure if these have been linked to already, but I thought it's worth noting that the AP of all outlets seems to be beginning to turn on McCain/Palin. Follow me below the jump...
Here's what Charles Babington finds in his analysis of McCain string of false claims:
Republican presidential nominee John McCain, a self-proclaimed tell-it-like-it-is maverick, keeps saying his running mate, Sarah Palin, killed the federally funded Bridge to Nowhere when, in fact, she pulled her support only after the project became a political embarrassment. He accuses Democrat Barack Obama of calling Palin a pig, which did not happen. He says Obama would raise nearly everyone's taxes, when independent groups say 80 percent of families would get tax cuts instead.
Even in a political culture accustomed to truth-stretching, McCain's skirting of facts has stood out this week.

Additionally, the AP has stinging criticism for Palin's interview with Charlie Gibson
John McCain running mate Sarah Palin sought Thursday to defend her qualifications but struggled with foreign policy, unable to describe President Bush's doctrine of pre-emptive strikes against threatening nations and acknowledging she's never met a foreign head of state.
Again TPM has the whole article: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/...
Let's hope this week is a turning point and the traditional media finally have had enough of McCain/Palin/Rove/Cheney lies!
