McCain: Media 'in love' with Obama
John McCain's campaign, with some acid humor, is directly addressing what many critics see as press infatuation with Democratic rival Barack Obama.
It announced today it is holding a contest between two video compilations of various media talking heads fawning over Obama and political foes remarking about it. Both are set to music, one to "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" and the other to "My Eyes Adored You."
"It's pretty obvious that the media has a bizarre fascination with Barack Obama. Some may even say it's a love affair," the campaign said in a statement accompanying the videos. "The media is in love with Barack Obama. If it wasn't so serious, it would be funny."
