The New York Times Tries to Help McCain But Drudge Intervenes To Help Obama
Reuters ^ | July 21, 2008

Maybe those Bar-B-Q’s for the press really do work. It looks like the media really is trying to help McCain out, but Matt Drudge seems to really like Obama and isn’t going to let McCain get off easy...

This is a blog entry.

It's not a Reuters' column.

Why is a blog news? Reuters seems to be promoting anti-McCain blogs as if they are legitimate news. Just an opinion from a Obmessiah worshiper.

After Obama had a thoughtfulop-ed in The New York Times on his Iraq position,
(Senator) John McCain has put out an attempt at a rebuttal.
The New York Times was extraordinarily kind to McCain in sending it back suggesting improvements

And why should I care about the opinion of some blogger called “Liberal Values?”

The writer of this piece has the biggest bias of all the names on this page. The NY Times helping McCain?...Yeah right!!!
Drudge is obviously in the bag for Obama but he continues to expose the “Old Media” nonetheless. Much to their chagrin.

Here is how the blogger said the NYT was helping McCain.

The New York Times was extraordinarily kind to McCain in sending it back suggesting improvements as opposed to allowing McCain to further demonstrate how weak he is in on foreign policy by publishing the op-ed as submitted.

You got that right. I quit this hack and removed his page from my Bookmarks a long time ago.

First of all, then why read the post or comment if this does not matter to you?

Second of all, the Conservatives have been losing because they run and hide from the Liberals.

Furthermore,while working to attain my degrees one thing I learned as I studied under Left wing professors, know thine enemy.

Stop hiding, stop reading what makes you feel good and know thine enemy.

Most of all, I think this article bothered you because Drudge has gone to the dark side, which most of us were privy to this many moons ago.

Oh and do not forget, the New York Times believes they have been good to Senator McCain since they have allowed seven (7) of his op-eds to be published since 1996.

Yeah, think about that one.

I, personally, never visit the Drudge site. It’s just a compilation of what’s on other sites. Drudge posted the speech, just like he posts links to hundreds of other articles. I don’t see how posting the contents of a speech means he’s gone to the dark side. Drudge is an entrepreneur...he posts what will get him the most hits, pure and simple.

Good point. Every now and then bloggers tell the truth.

Sorry, Drudge proclaimed to be a Conservative for eons and now all people have seen for months on his site have been pictures of Obama with the background as that of the Messiah.

If an entrepreneur makes his living by claiming he is a Conservative then changes midstream to placate to a questionable person such as Barak Hussein Obama, yes, such stories do matter. In addition, the problem with Drudge, he seems to love sensationalism more then he does the country he claims to love.
