Item 3 is "Tough but fair investigations into McCain and Palin’s various lies, bad decisions, and questionable policies"
Isn't there something missing here?
From the comments to the piece:
What the media insists on not getting is not just how many of us do not pay attention to them anymore, but how many of us actively choose opposite the media's choices. And not all of us live in an echo chamber. All conservatives I know are related to, work with, and live near liberals. I was a liberal Democrat for 26 years. One of the things I learned (besides the rank hypocrisy of the so-called feminist movement, of which I had been a proud part, and which now so vociferously disses and excoriates Sarah Palin) was that the media is always, without exception, in the tank for the most liberal and least qualified candidates for any given office - the more anti-American, the better. I read and study a lot, as far as current events and politics go, but I pay no attention to the media except as a bellwether of where NOT to go and what NOT to choose. They have a perfect score and it's one I disagree with 100%. The hateful and self-degrading media spasms of the past 2 weeks reinforce my perceptions and decisions.

Wha? "V.F.’s James Wolcott feels that the Obama campaign would be aided by a braver press that unhesitatingly calls bullsh*t on the McCain-Palin campaign, but he concedes that it can be tough for those kinds of stories to gain traction." 'Scuse please? The problem with that approach - to "call bullsh*t" on one campaign but not the other - is that "the stories don't gain traction"? Not even lip service to any kind of even-handedness? Do you J-school folks still wonder why we non-J-school folks don't believe a word you say?
