McCain ignores 5,000 journalists

Lately, John McCain has complained the media isn't giving him enough love.

His campaign recently released two videos showing all the loving the media gives to Barack Obama.

It is true that Obama's overseas trip this week received tremendous coverage, while McCain's recent trip to Mexico got scant notice.

But McCain is blowing off an invitation to address as many as 5,000 journalists attending the UNITY: Journalists of Color convention held in Chicago this week.

The convention organized by the four major minority journalism associations representing blacks, Hispanics, Asian-Americans and Native Americans with a mission to promote diversity in the media, has invited both of the major candidates running for president.

Obama has confirmed and will speak to convention goers on Sunday morning, and it will be broadcast on CNN. But McCain hasn't accepted the invitation.

When the UNITY conference was last held in 2004 in Washington, D.C., both John Kerry and President Bush spoke to the group of journalists.

There will be thousands of journalists at UNITY, most who don't normally get to cover a presidential candidate, and many of them would write about McCain's visit for their local news organizations.
It's time for McCain to stop whining about the media ignoring him, and pay attention to this large group of journalists willing to hear what he has to say.
