Biased report about cancer?

Question

Does anyone else see the news reports released today about McCain being free of cancer as a thinly veiled attempt to tell people not to vote for him because he could die? I am not a McCain supporter, but I think that kind of coverage is shameful. The media is not saying McCain has cancer. Instead, they are saying the opposite but implying that he could get cancer. And then they mention that he has had cancer in the past. Shameful!

Answer 1

It will not sway me to vote for the other guy, that's for sure. I don't think there is much of anything they could say about McCain at this point for me to vote for the other guy.

You know who I mean.

I'd vote for the nice lady who is married to the liar before I EVER voted for the other guy.

Answer 2

McCain is 72 years old and would be the oldest person to take the Presidency in history. He has had three different bouts of cancer.

It is a legitimate issue to wonder how his health is as the election approaches. There is nothing shameful about it.

Answer 3

McCain had recurring malignant melanomas, including one invasive type that required removal of his lymph nodes (why his face is disfigured).  That type of melanoma, as stated in the reports, has only a **65% ten year survival rate.**

The man is prone to a very dangerous type of cancer, for heaven's sake.

Answer 4

I don't see why anyone would care if he has cancer or not, it does not make him a bad person or anything. Its sounds like the coverage is a little biased but they need the story to be interesting...right?

Answer 5

Cancer is on the U.S. media agenda due to Sen. Kennedy.  The report is a logical response to public questions.  Much has been reported in the past about McCain's age and his troubles with cancer.

Answer 6

nope. never saw it that way. mccain is free of cancer. are you?

he has skin cancer in the past. it was a medical check up revealed to all the world to see.
