Liberal NY Times rejects McCain - LocalApple

The New York Times has rejected an essay that Sen. John McCain wrote defending his Iraq war policy.

The piece was in response to an op-ed from Sen. Barack Obama that was published in the paper last week.

In February, after it became clear McCain would be his party's presumptive nominee, the paper published a thinly sourced report that McCain once had a close relationship with a female lobbyist.

McCain said he was disappointed in the New York Times piece. The paper said that it stood by its reporting and that "the story speaks for itself."

McCain's campaign sent out fundraising appeals based on the article.

The article "is particularly disgusting -- an un-sourced hit-and-run smear campaign designed to distract from the issues at stake in this election," McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, wrote in a e-mail to supporters.

"We need your help to counteract the liberal establishment and fight back against the New York Times by making an immediate contribution today," the e-mail said in text that linked to an online contribution form on the McCain campaign's Web site.

Seems like the NY Times is very one-sided

your just realizing this now - the ny times has always been a liberal paper, one of the reasons i refuse to pay for it

i find that the ny times is also more pro palestinian when it comes to their stories based on middle east issues

kind of funny whenever you go on CNN and read the links about obama and mccain, its always how obama is doing something great like visiting the middle east (FOR THE FIRST TIME in 2 years) and mccain is getting lectured by a volunteer (BUT HE HAS CONSISTENLY BEEN VISITING THE MIDDLE EAST FOR YEARS despite all the LACK OF CNN coverage) .... what a joke CNN is!
