in Liberal Watchdog Challenges Anti-McCain Media Bias on The Washington Independent
Liberal Media Bias? I think not.



John McCain just blew off speaking with thousands of minority

journalists at the Unity '08 National Convention in Chicago all the while

complaining he's not getting nearly enough news coverage. With all these journalists losing out on a great opportunity to meet with and write about

the man, could it be they might be looking for something to report, a story

to investigate?



Feel free to forward the following "news tip" to them. We can kill

three birds with one stone - take mainstream media to task for not giving

voters coverage on the full McCain, bring attention to a health issue

affecting many veterans, and give Senator McCain the level of news coverage

he craves.



Now, some in mainstream media even have the gall to question whether

these minority journalists will pander to Obama because of race, while

disregarding their own consistent record of filling us full with stories of

McCain's war 'hero' trials and tribulations without giving us the full story.



Journalists within the old school mainstream media indulge themselves with

numerous articles on his status as a POW, inform us each and every time one

vet speaks out about the torture of John McCain, even going into great detail

about the types of torture and the number of years the man was tortured. Yet,

it never enters their minds to ever ask the obvious question - "Could the man

running for the highest office in the United States of America, a job with

incredible stress, possibly suffer from PTSD?"



Google the general web with the words 'mccain ptsd' and over one half

million hits will appear. Most are articles by veteran groups having to do

with McCain's lack of support for veterans and his actions to shut down the

MIA/POW investigations, while many others discuss the very real possibility

he suffers from PTSD. Now go to Google News section and enter 'mccain ptsd'.



To be fair, google the entire archive. Out of a grand total of

approximately 80 hits, you will be lucky to pull up one or two articles

addressing this issue.



Google the news for 'mccain mole' and you will find over 600 mainstream

media articles updating us on the hour about a simple mole removal.



As you can see, there is NO media coverage questioning whether John

McCain may suffer from PTSD or perhaps LOSS. They are more than willing to

write about the details of McCain's torture but not the probable result of said torture.
