CNN's Sesno suggests McCain owns copyright on "straight talk" label

SUMMARY: Referring to the Democratic presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, CNN's Frank Sesno said: "[M]oney is pouring in, but with apologies to [Sen.] John McCain, you might hear some straight talk, too." In assigning McCain ownership of the "straight talk" label, Sesno joined a long line of media, including CNN hosts and correspondents, who have adopted McCain's self-laudatory label of "straight-talker" despite his stark inconsistency on numerous issues.
