Traveling Obama: Unfair Coverage?
Jul 22, 2008 - 05:07 amIt’s the big political buzz today.
Barack Obama is on the road overseas, and he has an army of United States news media traveling with him. Katie, Brian, Charlie, all their make-up artists and personal assistants, and representatives from all the big news agencies and even some that wish they were big are tagging along for Obama’s international ride.
Now, even some in the national news media are questioning the full court press coverage. McCain didn’t get it on his numerous past Middle East visits, some say. Even the great New York Times is under fire for refusing to publish a McCain Op/Ed piece on the Iraq war.
So I ask you: what do you think? Is the American press obsessed with Obama, and is the coverage unfair as a result? Or, is this a case of Obama being the “better story” this campaign with news coverage reflecting the most newsworthy of the two main candidates.
Move over Katie, Brian, and Charlie. What do YOU think?
