You'd think the folks at the networks would know better oberliner Aug 2018 #4

Reflection of a nation? HipChick Aug 2018 #7

Sad, but true oberliner Aug 2018 #10

Rove tactic in South Carolina in 2000 underpants Aug 2018 #32

I see this another way..perhaps the McCains or Bridget herself requested to asiliveandbreathe Aug 2018 #9

I was thinking that, too obamanut2012 Aug 2018 #11

How does that explain not even identifying Bridget as John McCain's daughter in the caption? oberliner Aug 2018 #12

I believe this is the case grantcart Aug 2018 #22

She's a private person, near as I can tell BannonsLiver Aug 2018 #37

Yes, from everything I have read, she shies away from the spotlight. GoCubsGo Aug 2018 #52

Not sure what channel I was watching, but I saw Bridget approach the casket, touch it, etc. n/t Tess49 Aug 2018 #13

Be curious to know which channel if you remember oberliner Aug 2018 #14

CNN, MSNBC Totally Tunsie Aug 2018 #31

Probably MSNBC, if not it was CNN n/t Tess49 Aug 2018 #48

I saw it on CNN Bengus81 Aug 2018 #50

Our local CBS affiliate showed what you describe. n/t MerryBlooms Aug 2018 #15

I saw Bridget several times. She was right there True Blue American Aug 2018 #44

Was the coverage from a pool feed? JPK Aug 2018 #16

Maybe the case here oberliner Aug 2018 #19

The caption does not mention Sen. McCain's sons. Dammit! oasis Aug 2018 #17

Agreed oberliner Aug 2018 #18

Meghan has made a very public life for herself. Visually, blondes stand out & command attention. Hekate Aug 2018 #27

I'm willing to accept that I am totally off base on this oberliner Aug 2018 #34

Thank you Hekate Aug 2018 #40

Yes, and every commentator mentioned her name LAST after all her siblings elfin Aug 2018 #20

Perhaps she is the youngest Hekate Aug 2018 #28

That is a good thought. nt elfin Aug 2018 #49

Yes. She is the youngest. GoCubsGo Aug 2018 #53

They keep calling her his adopted daughter. My son has a son he is not the birth father of. nolabear Aug 2018 #21

My heart felt thanks to you Butterflylady Aug 2018 #46

Most likely, that stems from the "McCain fathered a black baby" bullshit GoCubsGo Aug 2018 #54

I am not seeing the problem... Peacetrain Aug 2018 #23

Maybe this isn't the best example oberliner Aug 2018 #26

I understand.. as the grand offspring of an adopted son Peacetrain Aug 2018 #45

This seems to really be "a thing" for the OP. I have suggested writing to the comments lines... Hekate Aug 2018 #30

I hate that denotation. B2G Aug 2018 #33

CNN and MSNBC fully acknowledged Bridget and even told the story of Totally Tunsie Aug 2018 #29

Seems to me they miss-nasty Aug 2018 #35

Agree. I hate that term. B2G Aug 2018 #36

Agreed. Might as well refer to the others as his "real" kids. John Fante Aug 2018 #38

This. nt B2G Aug 2018 #41

I have not seen what you are talking about Hekate Aug 2018 #42

I don't fully agree with you. Blue_true Aug 2018 #39

Like you really care BannonsLiver Aug 2018 #43

Yes, agreed miss-nasty Aug 2018 #47

Are they showing and speaking less of Bridget than of Sidney and the boys? sl8 Aug 2018 #51
