John McCain: Media Darling - Link

Do you suppose John McCain is loved by the mainstream media so much because he supports the corporations that pay the newscasters? Or do they just admire the elderly? I know that whenever I turn on the news, they are focusing on one of McCain's Obama bashing ads as if it were news. They then spend 5 minutes discussing the merits of the ad.

In the meantime, I've not seen them do the same with ANY of Obama's ads.

From the Gawker website...

The number of times Senator John McCain’s new advertisement attacking Senator Barack Obama for canceling a visit with wounded troops in Germany last week has been shown fully or partly on local, national and cable newscasts: well into the hundreds.

The number of times that spot actually, truly ran as a paid commercial: roughly a dozen.
