New John McCain Ads Show Media In Love With Obama

Two new ads from John McCain's campaign — one of which the campaign says will make it on air — show what they call the media's "love affair" with Barack Obama. The ads feature news personalities — including Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs, and Howie Kurtz — discussing Obama-mania in the media, highlight now-infamous statements from the likes of MSNBC's Chris Matthews and NBC's Lee Cowan, and even bring back some Hillary Clinton supporters' statements of media bias towards Obama.

The campaign is currently featuring both videos on its website and asking users to vote to see which one makes it to air. Watch them both below (the only discernible difference is song choice, with the "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" version currently leading the "My Eyes Adored You" version by a considerable margin).

Yeah, it's a shame. The media is just so in love with all Democrats. I mean, just look at the way the media was so relentlessly combative with George Bush for the past eight years. They just never let up on him. It's a tribute to his intellectualism, his strong character and convictions and his ability to think so clearly on his feet that he was able to rise above that constant onslaught from the liberal media.

Touche McSame! Funny seeing you cry about this now when the flip side of this coin has been you being kissed up to by the MSM for YEARS. The AP reporters still bring you donuts with sprinkles and they know how you take your coffee and you bragged that the press was your "base"...s­o how is it exactly that you are in a position to criticize?

Not to worry...yo­u still have Faux News to fall back on...and Time Magazine..­.and CNN...and the AP...and ABC News...and The Politico.

I wonder what network they are going to get to air a 2:56 spot?

So ... McCain is for the Fairness Doctrine?

[mrmetoo]

Awwwwwwwwwwww too cute... I'm sure McCain too has a secret crush on Obama

[Manni]

Love the ad..This BS needs to be exposed.

So you guys have thrilles traveling up your legs yet?

Better than having leaks from your Depends coming down yours and McCaln's.

Boo Hoo, poor little BBQ John doesn't have the media completely in his pocket anymore so he cries like a little girl. Considering that his campaign consists of nothing but gaffes, missteps, easily refuted lies and rather tasteless 'jokes', perhaps he should consider the end of the MSM's honeymoon with him a blessing in disguise..­.

They're reduced to the point of saying "Dont vote for Obama because people like him too much".

[kissmygrits]

I know! If this is all they've got, bring it on...

[frustratedinohio]

This is "like". This is in love.

McCain's Underpants Gnomes have a three-phase business plan, consisting of:

1. Make movies
2. ?
3. Get Elected

I'm beginning to believe the RNC chose McGoo as a pawn. They are intentionally throwing this election in anticipation of 2012. I mean really...i­s this man even trying to win?

I would like to personally thank the GOP for running this positive Obama ad. The free advertising is very much appreciated.

[NotMcCain]

Wow! I was voting for McCain till I saw this! If even hard-bitten newsmen like Steve Doochy and Charlie Gibson and ...Tucker Carlson!!!­....are in love with Barack Obama he MUST be the real deal!!!!

ROFL. Not funny enough to be satire and not true enough to be fact. So Chris Matthews and Jack Cafferty like Obama...du­h. But those are just two editoriali­sts-of-the­-air. The overall media is SOOOOO in the tank for McSame (think CNN--Blitzer, Dobbs, Cooper, Crowley & Co. Think ALL of FOX. Think Morning Joe and Mika Brezinski's incredulity when Wes Clark questioned his military expertise, "But...but­...this is JOHN McCAIN we're talking about!~!!!")

How about the awful "debate" on ABC where Gibson and Stephanopolous were transparently anti-Obama? How about talking heads all over the media, except a few bright spots at MSNBC?

And anchors were "lured by the promise of interviews"? Haha. This from the guy who promises first class seats on his plane to favorable reporters.

I think they're trying to goad the media into blasting Obama--and to fool the public into discounting every story where Obama seems effective and credible as "media bias".

But hopefully it will backfire. Hopefully, only the most die-hard McCain supporters are really THIS STUPID!!!!

Phil Gramm was right "our country is full of a bunch of whinners" . Being a former National Co- Chair of McCain he knows that his party are the main culprits of being a bunch of whinners. Instead of complaining do something unique about getting us out of our economic quandry or finally catching Bin Laden. Show some backbone instead of crying about the refs.

Hey, I just saw the latest tv ad for Dell Computers, they just show people loving and gushing over Macs.

That should make lots of people choose Dell for sure!

[Will2Win]

I'm confused by this newest McCain ad... is it for or against Obama?
