McCain Campaign Criticizes Pro-Obama Media Bias Save Email Print

Our Presidential campaign is in full swing, in both Amman, Jordan and Rochester, New Hampshire.

That's where Barack Obama in Jordan, and John McCain in New Hampshire, spent part of their day on July 22.

Barack Obama arrived in Israel Tuesday, promising to work towards an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, if he's elected.

"The Israelis and the Palestinians are going to both have to make compromises in order to arrive at that two-state solution," he said.

Obama spent much of the day in Jordan meeting with King Abdullah, who even drove him to the airport.

Nearly every move by Obama overseas is chronicled by dozens of reporters, yet when John McCain arrived Monday night in New Hampshire, you could count the reporters on one hand.

The coverage of Obama has frustrated the McCain campaign, who chronicled what they believe is media bias in a new web ad entitled 'Obama Love.'

The ad uses a series of seemingly favorable remarks about Obama made by reporters over the last few months, and now McCain is even attacking Obama on the campaign trail for being disingenuous.

"I had the courage and the judgment to say that I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war," stated McCain.

"It seems to me that Sen. Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign."

While Obama is overseas, some McCain aides are hinting that he may announce his choice for Vice President, possibly as soon as this week.

I think the media is determined that obama will win the election. They are certainly doing all they can to help him and discredit John McCain. Sometimes I really think I will just stop watching the news.
