John McCain

I am very impressed with the NY Times. They published the story about John McCain right after they knew he was going to get the nomination. Evidently they sat on it for 6 months. How does that serve the public interest? While the story lacks substance and any guiding facts, the timing is perfect for a paper with a liberal bias. In the words of Mark Twain, "Lies are half way around the world before the truth can get it's boots on."

Papers, like the NY Times have three hats: one they wear, one they give to liberal democrats, and one they talk through. People who don't know why America is the Land of Promise should be here during an election campaign. I promise to smear you. And what's even more interesting is the way in which democrats can get the papers to do their dirty work.

Bob Dole wrote in his book Great Political Wit, "It's no secret that I, too, have had a quarrel or two with the press. I remain convinced that many in the press do have a liberal bias, and that fact sometimes loses out to opinion. The fact is that the American economy was prospering under the (first) Bush administration, but the media told the public day in and day out that we were either in a recession or a depression. President Bush later summed it all up when he said, "When the Berlin Wall fell, I half expected to see a headline: 'Wall Falls, Three Border Guards Lose Jobs.' "
