The Media love Obama

Yes, they sure do. That's why, when McCain makes a tiny 3-market ad buy with the ludicrously cynical claim that Obama intentionally snubbed the troops during his international tour, opting instead to go to the gym, all the major news organizations ignore him entirely.

Or not.

CNN, not bothering to fact-check:

Sen. John McCain's campaign lashed out at Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday for canceling a visit to an American military base in Germany on Thursday.

"The most solemn duty of a commander in chief is to fulfill his responsibility to the men and women who serve this country in uniform," retired Lt. Col. Joe Reypya, speaking on behalf of the McCain, said in a statement. "Barack Obama ... broke that commitment, instead flitting from one European capital to the next."

And in a McCain ad that began airing Saturday, Obama is chided for making "time to go to the gym" instead of visiting with wounded troops.


Yep, I'm sure that ad is running nonstop on the networks. Best $10 the McCain campaign ever spent!
