McCain camp cries foul; Media coverage favors Obama, his campaign says

Washington - In a campaign week dominated by Barack Obama's trip abroad, the pro-John McCain camp has made headlines by complaining about coverage of Senator Obama's trip abroad.

For Senator McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, crying foul on the news media represents a double-edged sword. On the plus side, he plays into the longstanding narrative that asserts reporters are rooting for Obama, the likely Democratic nominee, to win in November. Hillary Rodham Clinton played that card during the primaries, to some effect, but ultimately unsuccessfully.

McCain's camp IS foul.

What a campaign of whiners...maybe they're so jealous of The Antichrist that they've worked themselves into a mental recession.

Whether Juan's mental abilities are in recession is a topic of debate for another thread on another day.

That is one great graphic and quite apropos given the McCainiac’s behavior of late

I see the patients are now in charge of the asylum around here...

The ad has several Hillary's proponents charging the same accusation. While I agree this tactic should not be used for long (it may sound whiny), I don't have problem with pointing it out now and then is good.

McCain’s campaign has me crying because they’re the big foul. I don’t believe they could possibly be any more lame.

What is more pathetic are Obama collaborators like you doing the Messiah’s bidding.Its time to go back to the DU where your with fellow Obaam fans await!

[vaudine]

McCain brought much of this on with campaign finance reform--to get evil money out of campaigns--What a croc!

CFR took power away from grass roots and put more in MSM hands.

Did McCain REALLY think the media would continue to love him? Just points up how badly Johnny needs a reality check about his "friends" across the aisle.

McBama troll alert.

Well...What did you expect, JUAN?
...after your (8) years of "being a tool" of the Liberal Establishment (DNC/$hrillary/AP/NYT/WaPo/ABCNNBcBS/pBS/FNC)...just "enjoy the experience"..did you expect gratitude? ...from the liberals?

Brilliant name calling from a person too stupid to realize that collaborating with Obama and the Code Pink crowd will give Marxist's the White House , Supreme Court , and Congress . Then the Obama smear police will shut us all up even the useful idiots in the McCain hater club.

[djsherin]

Please. We won’t vote for McCain because he is too left wing. Why would anyone who thinks McCain is too left wing vote for someone who is even worse? Besides, I live in California where my vote won’t count because this state WILL go to the Messiah. May as well vote my conscience.

Maybe they’ll shut you up, but I happen to believe the 2nd Amendment was given to us for more than just hunting.

McCain is a tool of the left. Obama is another tool of the left. Either way, we're going to get shat upon by a leftist president this November.

[exit82]

He’s not collaborating with anyone.

He’s been on FR longer than you have.

Frankly, I’m tired of the McCainiacs around here bashing folks who just say no to the McCain Abuse Lovers Club.

If the stakes are so high as you say, ask yourself-— why is a liberal Democrat the GOP nominee?

Hmph!

He wasn’t whining about bias when he was the only one on our side who got any coverage.

Exactly!
