NY Times- All the News That's Fit to Print?

Earlier this year the NY Times endorsed John McCain as the best Republican candidate, but now that he de facto won the nomination they are pulling out some dirt on him. First they dredged up a rumour that he had an affair with a lobbyist that he is friends with. Their so called proof was a bunch of bitter former employees who had no evidence, but it still warranted a front page 2000 word story. McCain's response the next day was around 250 words, and was sandwiched in the back of the paper. I also read that in 2004 there were rumours that John Kerry had an affair, but they put this report way in the back, and it was only a small story. Then this week they made a big story about if McCain could even run for President, because he wasn't born in American, but on a military base. These articles have actually backfired, as they have solidified the Conservative base, who hate the NY Times more than McCain.

Come on NY Times, you're supposed to be the number one paper in the country. Do you really need to try to smear McCain so he doesn't become President? It would be nice to see a little bit more even-handedness when reporting the election. All of these candidates will be good for America, and although you can have your own personal opinion you should let everybody's voice be heard properly. Let's bring some integrity back into the media.
