LAT: McCain chooses poorly on issues

The LAT reports this morning that John McCain is taking up an issue that George W. Bush was unable to sell in 2005, that issue being privatizing Social Security. Already, Obama supporters are lining up to oppose McCain's plan, says the LAT.

The LAT reports nothing about what McCain is proposing, only that it's the same thing Bush proposed and couldn't sell. But why not describe what McCain is proposing in sufficient detail so that readers can judge for themselves whether they like it or not? That would require not pre-judging the outcome and not taking sides. Sadly, that isn't possible for the LAT.
