Sleaze journalism.

CNN have a delightful piece on entitled McCain revealed, and they have just trailed a segment about Cindy McCain's prescription drug problem from some years ago.

Voters need to know if there is something in a candidate's past which would disqualify them from office, but Cindy McCain is not running for office. The issue is out in the open, so there is not security risk, and dragging it up now in a blatant attempt to hit McCain's campaign is squalid journalism of the worst kind.

No doubt they will balance it by exclusively revealing that Michelle Obama once returned a library book a couple of days late.
