REJECTED

So, it's all about framing. While the BBC has done a really great job at being fair and balanced, BUT today's headline read, "Russians reject McCain cash plea."
The article reads that there was a mishap in the technology, and that the McCain campaign accidentally solicited money for the campaign from Russia. They talked about how, first, candidates were not allowed to accept money from foreign donations. They then went on to talk about how McCain spoke out against them during the Georgia-Russia conflict, and also suggested that we throw Russia out from the G-8 because of their behavior when it comes to human rights.

The article itself isn't so bad. It gives all the information. The reason that it can be considered 'framed' though, is because going from the headline only, it would lead one to believe that McCain is not only dishonest-- but also is doing exactly what he is accusing Obama of doing: pandering with people with questionable ethics and morals...
