The treatment of Bridget McCain by the media continues to be shameful

29. CNN and MSNBC fully acknowledged Bridget and even told the story of

Cindy McCain bringing baby Bridget home from Bangladesh without telling John beforehand.

Bridget McCain was born in Bangladesh. Cindy McCain met Bridget as an infant through humanitarian work. According to Town and Country, Cindy was touring an orphanage in that country in 1991 when she noticed Bridget, who “suffered from a severe cleft palette as well as a congenital heart condition.”

Deeply moved, Cindy brought the child back to the United States with her – without telling John McCain – and Bridget was soon adopted and blended into the McCain brood. According to People Magazine, the McCain children are all protective of Bridget, who has had surgeries to repair her birth defects.

To be fair, ABC's video cuts out 6 of the 7 McCain children. Meghan is an ABC employee (The View), and she's also the best known of the "kids", which may be why she was being highlighted.
