Here is a local news report on Sen. John McCain's visit to Ottawa, Canada to speak on Free Trade at The Economic Club of Ottawa yesterday, June 20, 2008. There was virtually no U.S. network or cable news coverage of McCain's speech. I saw CNN and Fox mention he was there, but they did not carry the speech live or even discuss it's content at any length. EXIT QUESTION: If Barack Obama had gone to Canada to speak, would there have been the same type of non-coverage? This is a pefect example of one of the greatest threats to McCain winning the election. The deck is stacked against him beyond anything a Republican has ever had to face before. With almost no coverage (and when there is coverage, most of it is negative) how can John McCain get his message out to voters? Meanwhile, the media is acting as virtual apologists for Obama day after day.
