Networks Lavish One Hour of Coverage on Dem Race; Ignore GOP

Scott Whitlock

Despite the fact that John McCain officially clinched the GOP nomination on Tuesday, the three network morning shows on Wednesday devoted almost a full hour of air time to covering the Democratic presidential race and barely nine minutes for the Republicans. Additionally, the Arizona senator did not appear on NBC’s “Today” show, ABC’s “Good Morning America” or the CBS “Early Show.” Democratic Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, however, showed up on all three programs.

[...]

However, McCain’s very act of winning the nomination should be a well covered event, especially considering the candidate’s remarkable rise from the political dead. The networks, apparently, saw it a different way.

More manipulation by the leftie MSM.

robert108: Damn! Another great post. Considering that you dwell on the Left Coast, you’re getting pretty good at this!

Your observation takes me back to 2004, when every MSM article, broadcast or posting was about John Kerry duck hunting, wind-surfing, visitng NASA, wearing a hard-hat, rooting for the Celtics, hugging Mrs. Heinz-Kerry, hugging John Edwards, appearing in Vietnam-era video, ad nauseum.

Briefly I feared that George Bush had dropped out of the race.

“As a conservative, I will not be overly enthusiastic about voting for John McCain on November 4 - but I will be sprinting to the polling place to do so!”
