McCain's line on Libya is that the White House should have waged a more aggressive war.  If any of these outlets wanted to challenge him on his record on Libya, all they would need to do is talk about this ancient newspaper article from August 2009:

Or perhaps this item from Politico, from way back in August of this year:

We've looked at the right-wing slant on Sunday morning before (Extra!, 9-10/01,  12/10), but this more-than-2-to-1 bias is extreme. For the record, Democrats control one of the two houses of Congress.

You can probably guess who the Sunday shows' favorite congressional guest is.

there are persistent voices--in Congress and even inside the administration--arguing that Mr. Obama is moving too slowly.

Reporters David Sanger and Thom Shanker contend that there is too much concern about perceptions, and that the White House is too squeamish because of Iraq. And who are those persistent voices?

The most vocal camp, led by senators John McCain, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, and Joseph I. Lieberman, the Connecticut independent and another hawk on Libyan intervention, say the central justification for establishing a no-fly zone over Libya is that the rebel leaders themselves are seeking military assistance to end decades of dictatorship.

As always, when it comes to calling for military force, John McCain is front and center in the  TV news debate, since he is apparently an "expert."

But the Times notes that there are others calling for a more aggressive response--including Sen. John Kerry. And that's a problem for the White House:

For the administration, Mr. Kerry's view is more troublesome, given that he is a normally a strong ally on foreign policy issues. He was a fierce critic of the war in Iraq, but he sees Libya as a different matter.

John Kerry was such a fierce critic of the Iraq War that he voted for it.

BOB SCHIEFFER: And we begin this morning welcoming back to Face the Nation for the first time in exactly one year Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the person who, by the way, has been on this broadcast more than any other politician now in office.

Well, senator, you haven't been here in a year. What were you doing? Were you busy back in Arizona or what?

JOHN MCCAIN: Busy and thanks for having me back on. And it's probably the longest absence in all these years too. So I'm glad to be back.

McCain is still trailing former Sen. Bob Dole as the most frequent guest on NBC's Meet the Press. He'll pass him soon enough.

The apparent inability to have a Sunday show that doesn't feature frequent McCain appearances was best illustrated last year, when the July 4 broadcast of ABC's This Week touted an "exclusive" with the Arizona senator--who had appeared on NBC's Meet the Press exactly one week earlier.

Or this P.U.-litzer from 1999:

* PLAY-IT-AGAIN SPIN AWARD: National TV News

On April 5, network TV convened panels of experts to discuss the war on Yugoslavia. Viewers could see hawkish Sen. John McCain at 9 p.m. on CNN's Larry King Live, at 10 p.m. on Fox News Channel, at 11 p.m. on PBS's Charlie Rose show and at 11:30 p.m. on ABC's Nightline With Ted Koppel. The senator's whereabouts between 10:30 and 11 p.m. could not be determined.
