Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere.
I had to scrounge around for coverage of this (and I first read it on a Russian news site!):
www.cbsnews.com...
www.reuters.com...
And naturally, Xinhua news is unhappy with it all:
news.xinhuanet.com...
Of course, many people meet the Dalai Lama, but I gathered that this may at least rate a glancing mention.
My question is, and I don't particularly like McCain, but why has this slipped by the likes of CNN. I thought something like this would at least get
a mention, because McCain is obviously trying to score some brownie points by meeting the Dalai Lama - even just to get into the daily news cycle in a
positive way.
Instead, most coverage is centered on Obama. Even here on ATS, there's threads running rampant about Obama being a communist, the antiChrist, God,
and whatever else people think - but that's the thing, people seem to be talking about Obama, negative or positive, much more than McCain.
So my question is, is this a case of any publicity is good publicity, or is the media just ignoring McCain?
