Comments on: McCain Campaign Trashes The New York Times

[bonnetteblj]

FOX News has been taking their talking points from the Republicans for a long time now. The NYT has tried to be fair and report the news honestly. Apparently, McCain had thought that the press was going to
stay away from him as they had
in the past when he was their
"friend". McCain/Palin need to
be examined as closely as the press has already examined Obama/
Biden. In order to have a fair
election, the American people must be given the facts and the media
must be able to be impartial and
report the facts...freedom of the
press!

I agree, CNN is completely biased too. If Obama was the wonder they try to make us believe, they wouldn''t need to make such a big effort.

Thanks God not everybody believes what the media say.

Hmmm... I''ve never heard any concern from the McCain camp about Fox''s indisputable partisan coverage. Gee, could it be because they favor McCain? Fox is so far in the tank for the GOP you couldn''t even assign an over-the-top percentage to it. The NY Times has covered the good and bad of both candidates, Obama and McCain. McCain just hates looking like a loser right now -- he''s having a meltdown on a daily basis it seems.

It seems that McCain''s staff are as temperamental and impulsive as he is. What a bunch of hot-headed losers!

during the primaries the NYTimes backed McCain on the Republican ticket and Clinton on the Democratic ticket. So...McCain only has a problem with them when they write anything negative about him?

[actiscenei]

Schmidt says: "This is an organization that is completely, totally, 150 percent in the tank for the Democratic candidate..."

For something to be total or complete, you can only have 100% of it. Let''s call it "McCain Math" -- where 2 equals 3. It explains a lot of his proposals.

Please Mr Schmidt, do tell us what the NY Times reported, that led you to say this today? Certainly, they must have lied about something. What did they report that was untrue???
Does anyone notice, this is just a blanket statement, based on nothing that happened.

Just anything they can do, to divert from the issues. And get the Republicon followers, to start foaming, as they are in the posts here.

How about this, CBS?
Only run words or comments or retorts that come DIRECTLY FROM THE CANDIDATES THEMSELVES.
You all are at fault for running every whiney butt thing anyone says. Palin wont talk to the media? then STOP RUNNING ANY STORIES ABOUT HER----BET SHE''LL CHANGE THAT LITTLE MIND OF HERS PRETTY FAST, EH?

[dburfears]

Just more slam and slime tactics from the KARL ROVE / GEORGE BUSH RUN McCain Campaign.

They lie and lie and lie, then complain when their lies are exposed. "It''s the media''s fault that we keep lying about the Bridge to Nowhere". "It''s the media''s fault we lied and lied about Troopergate." "It''s the media''s fault that Palin said we might have to GO TO WAR WITH RUSSIA".

McCain should change their campaign slogan to, "It''s the Media''s fault".

Then they should change their platform to something more suitable to their desires, "Close down all media that is not Far-Right talk radio and the Fox News Network".

Now THAT would be "Straight Talk" for once.
