As part of massive media push back regarding the Palin pick, McCain camp's Steve Schmidt, who was personally involved in vetting and selecting Palin, complains to the WaPo that the campaign has been “under siege” from reporters asking scurrilous questions and creating a “feeding frenzy.”

Schmidt though, provides almost no names of reporters who are acting unprofessional. Instead, the article makes references to “some reporters.” And the one journalist Schmidt does name, Newsweek's Howard Fineman, denies Schmidt's specific claim.
