NEW YORK - Television news' royalty will fly in to meet Barack Obama during this week's overseas trip: CBS chief anchor Katie Couric in Jordan on Tuesday, ABC's Charles Gibson in Israel on Wednesday and NBC's Brian Williams in Germany on Thursday.
The anchor blessing defines the trip as a Major Event and — much like a "Saturday Night Live" skit in February that depicted a press corps fawning over Obama — raises anew the issue of fairness in campaign coverage.
The news media has devoted significantly more attention to the Democrat since Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign and left a two-person contest for the presidency between Obama and Republican John McCain, according to research conducted by the Project for Excellence in Journalism.
News executives say there are reasons for the disparity, such as the continuing story about whether Clinton and Obama's supporters can reconcile. They even partly blame McCain. By criticizing Obama for a lack of foreign policy experience, McCain raised the stakes for Obama's trip, "especially if he winds up going in to two war zones," said Paul Friedman, senior vice president of CBS News.
Obama will visit Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and England and has already stopped in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. Network anchors stayed home during McCain's recent foreign excursions.
"The question really needs to be posed. Is this type of coverage fair?" said Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va. "This is nothing but a political stunt."

I think it depends on what agency you are looking at.
Over all I think it is fair both candidates have their supporters.
