I've got one question: Is this stuff true? If it is, I'm not inclined to shoot the messenger since it would be a waste of both time and ammo. So I'm waiting to see if it's true. If it is, McCain's got only himself to blame. Not the MSM.

If this stuff ain't true, then the MSM's put more nails in its coffin. They're hurrying along their own demise just fine. They'll take care of themselves for us.

McCain Group Got Big Cable Donation
Posted on 03/07/2005 3:22:52 PM PST by NormsRevenge

WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) pressed a cable company’s case for pricing changes with regulators at the same time a tax-exempt group that he co-founded solicited $200,000 in contributions from the company.

Help from McCain, who argues for ridding politics of big money, included giving the CEO of Cablevision Systems Corp. the opportunity to testify before his Senate committee, writing a letter of support to the Federal Communication Commission and asking other cable companies to support so-called a la carte pricing.

(Snip)

“I’ve got one question: Is this stuff true? If it is, I’m not inclined to shoot the messenger since it would be a waste of both time and ammo. So I’m waiting to see if it’s true. If it is, McCain’s got only himself to blame. Not the MSM.”

The New York Times had been sitting on this story since December but obviously held off only to ensure that McCain would win the nomination first. So they are to blame for the timing.
