A question to those complaining about too much Obama coverage and not enough McCain?

Six Months to Freedom · 07-24-2008

What is John McCain currently doing to grab headlines?

It IS newsworthy when a Presidential candidate visits a war zone.

Is it newsworthy when a Presidential candidate goes fishing with the President in Maine? Because that's all McCain is doing right now.

What, specifically, is McCain doing RIGHT NOW that you believe requires more media attention that he isn't getting?
Cookie Monster: I never said that McCain didn't go. I'm asking about NOW, not the past. I'm not even saying that McCain should go to Iraq NOW. I'm just asking a question you apparently cannot answer - WHAT IS McCAIN DOING RIGHT NOW THAT IS SO NEWSWORTHY THAT YOU PEOPLE ARE UPSET ABOUT OBAMA BEING COVERED?
Brian - Thank you for ACTUALLY answering the question I asked.

He's not doing anything to grab headlines except bad mouth Obama. Maybe if old man McBush would spend more time telling the American people what his platform is, instead of trashing Obama - maybe, just maybe people would be more interested in him. But he can't even stay on track at his town hall gatherings......wasting way too much time and money bashing Obama - when he ought to be trying to convince people why he should be president!

LOL. McCain went to Iraq 8 times! You apparently believe he never went there probably because there was next to no coverage. If you get all of your news from the meida, you would think that Obama was the first Amercian ever to go.
That is the problem. The bias leaves people MISINFORMED.

ADD: If the "election season" just started this past week, you would have a point, but considering it has been going on around a year now, you are clearly grasping at straws in implying that the media is not biased.

McCain is not the favorite of the liberal press. He doesn't have the three anchors of the three networks founding him around like little groupies. The more you know about what's wrong with Obama the more McCain looks right.

Well, to be fair, McCain did have that ONE GUY from some newspaper show up to greet him!!! He's gaining traction!!

I got a problem with the coverage, period. It's been non-stop fluff since before the primaries. The media don't tell you diddley-squat about their positions on issues.... what I do know I had to dig out on the web.
