‘The View’ Hated McCain… Before They Loved Him By Matt Margolis

Oh, what a difference a few years and Donald Trump make when it comes to how the media treats Senator John McCain.
A few months ago I wrote about how one day the left will be nostalgic for Donald Trump. I noted how the left’s perceptions of George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney have gone from “literally Hitler” to literally “okay.” With regards to John McCain, I noted how Madonna compared him to Hitler during a concert, how he was likened to Nazis in an episode of The Family Guy, and how Slate called him “worse than Bush.”
The media today now have pretty much only nice things to say about the late Sen. John McCain (who’s record of independence has aligned him with Obama and against the GOP on several issues, and even more importantly, against Trump), but this is in stark contrast to how they treated him when he was Barack Obama’s opponent in 2008.
It was a battle of a moderate war hero and a radical noob. McCain’s status as a war hero was somehow not as important as Obama’s community organizing and candidness about his smoking marijuana. McCain was just a crusty old white guy and Obama was the cool young black candidate, and if you didn’t like him, you were racist.
One of the best examples of how the media treated McCain so unfairly is when both candidates were guests on The View. While no one would say the hosts of The View are the sharpest tools in the shed, nevertheless, delusions of grandeur have them constantly spewing feebleminded political commentary to a generally receptive audience.
The following is a series of clips showing the dramatic difference between Obama’s appearance on the show and McCain’s:
