NYT Attacks McCain

It didn't take long for the New York Times to turn its slander machine on John McCain. If you will remember the NYT endorsed McCain. This story involves a lobbyist who McCain is accused of giving special favors. The interesting thing about this story is the NYT had this story in December and sat on it until today. They evidently didn't think it important enough to mention when they endorsed McCain. It didn't hold them back from endorsing him. The story mentioned "un-named" sources. There's always a problem when the writer does not reveal his sources. I hope McCain realizes that this is only the beginning of attacks by the MSM. He's had a pass with the MSM for years for being a "maverick" in the Republican party. They have not, however, given a pass to Democrat mavericks. I believe McCain is a man of integrity. He has always had the highest ethics. I may differ with him on many issues, but I have never questioned his honesty. Republicans should take note that MSM attacks on John McCain signify that he really is one of us.

I also think this is the perfect time for McCain to reach out to conservative talk radio. He would have the forum to explain this matter to millions of listeners as well as make the case for his conservatism.

I agree with you about the McCain story. Unless they can prove that what they're saying is true or unless the 'unamed sources' name themselves, it seems like unfounded or loosely founded slander.
