The New York Times; The Paper of Record; The home of all the news that’s fit to print has finally executed the ambush of John McCain that they have been planning for months.
Last Thursday’s hit piece, entitled “For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk” was long on rehashing decades-old charges of corruption and ties to Charles Keating, while devoid of all but insinuation and innuendo when it comes to the article’s substantive charge of a McCain affair with 40 year-old telecommunications lobbyist Linda Iseman.

“This fight is about war” - Bay Area Code Pink
The Berkeley, California City Council has declared war on the US Marine Corps.

“Until they come to grips with how long and frequent deployments are straining soldiers and shattering lives we will continue to see this frightening trend” - Lie of the week from Senator Patty Murray (D-WA)
The mainstream media’s propaganda war against the US military continues…
For years, the alphabet news networks, the New York Times, the AP and Reuters have been steadily beating the drum of defeat - spewing enemy propaganda and generally doing everything in their power to sap support at home for our military efforts abroad.
A few weeks ago, I published a piece on the New York Times’ fascination with military murders. Last week an AP writer had a fetish with military suicides. At some point, one has to ask why they’re so agog over the deaths of US military members? (more…)
