Founded in 2008 by Robert Stacy McCain, The Other McCain began as a personal blog that quickly evolved into a news and commentary website. McCain, a former newspaper journalist, started the site to provide his perspective on political and cultural issues after leaving his position at The Washington Times. The idea came from his desire to continue writing and reporting without the constraints of traditional media. The Other McCain remains independently owned and operated by Robert Stacy McCain.Today, The Other McCain primarily focuses on political news, current events, and cultural commentary. The site covers a wide range of topics including national politics, social issues, media criticism, and occasionally international affairs. Based in the United States, The Other McCain has gained a following among readers interested in conservative perspectives on news and politics. While the main focus is on political content, the site also touches on related subjects that intersect with politics and culture.One interesting fact: Despite its name, The Other McCain has no relation to the late Senator John McCain or his family. The website's name is a playful reference to the founder's surname and his position as a lesser-known McCain in the political sphere, which has occasionally led to humorous misunderstandings among new readers.
