We're sensing a media/GOP showdown in St. Paul

Between McCain canceling his CNN interview (see below) and Fred Thompson claiming the New York Times trashed Palin in today's edition, we see can the outlines of the GOP convention meme forming. (And did anyone else see Bill Bennett last night accuse a CNN reporter of crossing the line while reporting on VP?)

Will be interesting to see how the press reacts to the coming, coordinated attacks.
