Okay. Serious question.

What’s the reason for this relentless media coverage?
There are lots of Senators and old people die. What makes THIS guy special? That he once ran for President? Oh, really? When Michael Dukakis dies, is he going to get endless media propaganda like this? I don’t think so.
What did McCain actually DO (besides demand it) to be treated like some great head-of-state who’s passed on? Or is it because he stabbed Trump (and we-the-people) in the back by voting for Obamacare?

With their over-the-top coverage of John McCain’s death, the media seems to have drifted even further from anything resembling the truth (and I’m only talking about Fox News, here. I can’t even imagine the airtime that enemy media like CNN is giving this).

They’re covering him like crazy to make Trump look bad. I must have seen 3 reports already on TV where they brought up Trump questions if McCain is a hero.

I don't get it either. I don't wanna run the guy down. That said, McCain was really only popular with folks in Arizona and colleagues (good ol boyz) in the Senate. He HATED Trump and he despised those who supported him. I think he referred to me as a hobbit.

He worked against things I believe in...Tight border security/wall, market based healthcare system, America first.

I believed him to be a good globalist and more of a democrat. Certainly not a constitutional conservative and 30+ years of this in the Senate didn't further the cause of the right. 15 years too long in my lil ol pinion.

His time has passed, hopefully we won't see some nonsense like plopping his wife in his Senate seat as a way of honoring John McCain. The country needs to move on.
