SUMMARY: CNN host Wolf Blitzer simply reported Sen. John McCain's assertion that his current trip overseas is "not for campaign purposes" without noting that before McCain's trip, Dana Bash had quoted McCain advisers saying that the trip was at least in part an effort to "stay[] in the headlines" and promote the "imagery of a leader comfortable on the world stage."
