What ABC didn’t ask McCain
“Post your own question to McCain: http://TheRealMcCain.com/interview
Last week’s Democratic debate in Philadelphia was an abysmal display of journalism. By sticking to trivial topics for half of the debate, ABC sought to provoke controversy without asking the candidates serious questions. The Huffington Post’s Jason Linkins wrote that the debate “ventured into territory so utterly asinine that I could scarcely believe what I was witnessing.”
Ironically, the mainstream media have been giving John McCain a free ride while trying to pin Clinton and Obama with manufactured “gotcha” questions. In fact, they don’t seem to be challenging McCain at all. So there’s no reason to think ABC’s brand of pseudo-journalism won’t continue tomorrow morning, when George Stephanopoulos will interview McCain on his show. Here’s a satirical look at what that interview might be like.”
