What if the NY Times wrote a hit piece and nobody cared?
The paper is so laughable that it’s expected that they will smear republicans without much notice.
I’m going to be the contrarian here.
Do you think that the Times is stupid enough to go with the story with no backup? They followed the Dan Rather case. They hate the conservatives. They know, from Dan Rather’s case, the right versus wrong way to go to war with the conservatives.
I suspect that they are going to let the conservatives vent, then drop a bomb that proves their case.
McCain’s team had enough advance warning to put together a Day 1 strategy to respond. It got a lot of people on board with him. Good as it goes.
But if I was the NY Times, I would have anticipated all of that. And I would have another move planned.
Let’s wait and see.
Slimes excuse, don’t let the lack of substance get in the way of our left wing appeasement.
Nothing passes the “smell test” at the New York Times!
This is just an example of how the MSM is playing conservatives like a fiddle. They know Conservatives don’t trust McCain, but McCain is the MSM’s candidate of choice.
What’s the easiest way for the MSM to get conservatives on McCain’s side? Write a completely worthless hit job on McCain. The Conservatives will rally around McCain like children.
If the MSM wanted to torpedo the McCain campaign, they would have released this stuff back in December before all the primaries - where Fred or Mitt would have benefited. Instead they release it now when McCain has the nomination all but wrapped up, but early enough that it will be forgotten by November.
The MSM is John McCain’s best friend.
Now, the famous NYTimes, Bible of Progressive Liberals and favorite Avian read in bird cages all across America, brings allegations of sexual indiscretions, favoritism, rides on some lobbyist's airplane down on Senator McCain just a few days after the Obama sex/drug allegation/law suit. Poor McCain was visibly "disappointed" after sharing an amicable relationship with the Times over the years. He said, Prove it! But no one has of yet, just like the Obama sex story.
Mr. McCain you should remember what William Shakespeare said turned timely: “Misery (or politics) acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.” It was spoken by a man who had been shipwrecked (so you had a bad day on illegal immigration) and finds himself seeking shelter beside a sleeping monster (The NYTimes). Should the Obama gay sex drug story have merited attention on News 24/7? Both stories are just allegations, unproven, but one media darling becomes sheltered and the other does not. Your opinion? How do they differ?
I guess we are allowed to talk about this in comparison.
Looks like the NYT has authenticated McCain as the conservative.
The New York Slimes always goes too far. They stink.
Wasn’t this a great idea the Times had to get support for their endorsed Republican since their Hillary faded in the stretch? Bottom line did this get more votes for McCain or less?
Well, it’s been a couple days... and I’d say all things considered, this story helped McCain.
