*When Barack Obama takes his trip to the Middle East (his FIRST in almost 1000 days, and AFTER his policy speech on the region (??)), All 3 of the top network nightly news anchors, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric will travel WITH him.
*PLEASE NOTE: NO TOP NETWORK NEWS ANCHOR HAS EVER ACCOMPANIED A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ON A FOREIGN TRIP BEFORE....EVER. Whoa.
In contrast, John McCain has taken THREE foreign trips in the last FOUR months, NOT ONE of these trips was accompanied by ANY network anchor. McCain visited Britian, France and Isreal in March and met with their leaders, no network anchors tagged along, only two of the networks sent a correspondent, and NONE of the evening newscasts covered his trip to Canada last month.
