McCain campaign manager Rick Davis requested a meeting with Steve Capus, president of NBC News, Sunday. The reason for the request was, in the words of Davis, NBC’s decision to abandon “non-partisan coverage of the Presidential race.”

CNN (relevant part of interview at about 1:20) and the New York Times are reporting that John McCain was not in the “cone of silence” that Rev.
