So the media isn't feeding the Obama hype machine? Yeah right! It was announced that Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric - NBC's, ABC's and CBS' anchors - will all travel with Obama when he visits Europe and the Middle East next week. From the Washington Post: Lured by an offer of interviews with the Democratic presidential candidate, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric will make the overseas trek, meaning that the NBC, ABC and CBS evening newscasts will originate from stops along the route and undoubtedly give it big play. John McCain has taken three foreign trips in the past four months, all unaccompanied by a single network anchor. When McCain visited Britain, France and Israel in March and met with their leaders, no network anchors tagged along. NBC and ABC sent correspondents; CBS did not. None of the evening newscasts covered his trip to Canada last month. And McCain's swing through Colombia and Mexico two weeks ago was barely covered, although NBC and ABC sent correspondents.
So the media isn't favoring one candidate over another? They don't have a left tilt? I think it is pretty obvious they do. Click here to read the complete article.
