I wish the media would stop ignoring John McCain's other daughter, Bridget

(Not to mention his daughter Sydney from his first marriage.)

This AP photo caption ignores them both even though they are in the picture. Bridget is also one of Cindy's children and she is right there.

1. Just Bridget? They likewise ignore his eldest sons (adopted), Doug and Andy, his eldest daughter

Sidney. I agree it is disgusting that they ignore Bridget, but they seem only to want to give attention to Cindy's biological children... and that is pretty awful.


This photo of all 7 children is not current, but the only one I could find that identifies them.

John McCain with his wife, Cindy, and children pose for a photo, Feb. 1, 2000 in New Hampshire. McCain's children are from left, Andy, Jimmy, Jack, Bridget, Meghan, Doug, and Sidney.

2. His other kids are private figures. nt

3. Bridget is in the AP photo

She is sitting right there and the caption does not make mention of her.

4. I couldn't agree more

I know right - I watched CNN today as Wolf showed Meghan weeping over the casket - but then as Bridget walked up they cut the video. As a white parent of an adopted biracial son - this made more than my my "dog whistles" go off!!!

5. Yes, I noticed that as well

The photo caption on the picture I posted was similarly insulting.
