Thomas Lifson "I don’t know about you, but when the video coverage of the death of Senator John McCain began a week ago Saturday, I reached satiation well before the live coverage concluded with his burial at the United States Naval Academy. Yes, he was a brave war hero that endured years of brutal captivity in North Vietnam, and all of us honor that. But as a politician, his main legislative legacy is a failed campaign finance act, one of those bipartisan feel-good efforts that backfired and made things worse."
"So, how is it that his passing and a week’s worth of scheduled events merited wall-to-wall coverage? President Kennedy’s assassination required two days of live coverage for the death and funeral. I am hopeful that the Media Research Center will tabulate the total hours of coverage and compare it to the live coverage of events around the death of President Ronald Reagan. My impression is that McCain received more hours." . . .
Franklin, McCain, Tibbetts: Liberals exploit death to advance an agenda "After being subjected to stage-managed funerals coordinated solely by Donald Trump's political enemies, it's evident that in some circles, having a corpse double as soapbox far outweighs the value of memorializing the dead." . . .
