#1 Where's McCain's editorial, like Obama's?

Oh. You didn't print it.

WHere's the coverage of Edward's "love child" mess?

Oh. You didn't print it.

NYT - in the tank for liberals, abandoning news coverage for full time inept political spin.

No wonder their stock, revenues and readership are way down.

#2 Like the old Mission Impossible tag line -

As always should your operation be exposed or your corporate front tank, the ~~Secretary~~ DNC will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Pinch.

#3 Out this way 'Dealing from the bottom of the deck' has always meant someone who plays outside the rules to gain advantage, and probably goes back to before the Wyatt Earp days in this area. I didn't watch the OJ bull and only know anything about it because people keep bringing it up.

#4 The idea is that through hint and inuendo to build the belief that McCain actually said/did something racist. They've got a plan and its likely to work unless McCain counter-attackst he claims each and every time.

"So when I say Obama is a pop-star celebrity that's a racist attack? How? Please explain that one to me."

"Seems the post-racial candidate sees race issues where there are none. Do we really want to have a President who sees things that aren't there? Or insinuates intent into things that were not said or meant?"

#5 It truly amazes me that anyone, except barking moombat liberals, reads and / or cares what the NYT prints.

#6 Anytime a media outlet chooses to abandon the tried and true business of reporting facts and events, and chooses instead to becoming a propaganda arm of a political party, they take the risk of DIEING along with that party.

It gets worse when they try to cover the faults of that party with wild spin.

#9 I can only assume that in some alternate universe, the NYT is an actual news paper, because in Bizarro World here, it sure as hell ain't. As reflected in the stock price.
