Campaign Cost

I lifted this from a story on the net. I have put in bold and increased the font the part that I question. Is this normal? Does McCain charge the press for traveling with him? Is this not a campaign contribution? After all, it's part of the cost.
DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING OF THIS? IF YOU DO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

The back two sections are traditional coach seats where the Secret Service, reporters, cameramen and some of the communications staff sit. It is a rite of passage each election cycle for the party’s nominee to retrofit an aircraft to distinct specifications. While the campaign pays for their share of the plane, the news media also pay thousands of dollars to fly with Obama for each leg of his campaign.
