NYT praises McCain for being "civil" towards Hillary

I read it and couldn't believe it.
Marc Santora wrote a long article focused on John McCain's approach towards Hillary Clinton. I patiently read Santora's mushy words waiting for him to at least hint to his readers that one of McCain's followers had called Hillary Clinton a bitch recently, that McCain called her question "excellent", and that McCain cashed in on the insult. Instead, Santora focused on today's more tempered speech by McCain.

At no point did this good for nothing excuse of a journalist put these events into context.

That the word "bitch" cannot be printed in the NY Times is irrelevant, because the incident can be worded in many different ways. There was no reference to that incident at all.

He praised McCain for "outlining a series of contrasts with her on issues including national security and health care" in a speech today.

He praised McCain for "trying to do it in a markedly different way from his two main rivals, Rudolph W. Giuliani and Mitt Romney]

Santora kept contrasting McCain with "Giuliani and Romney", ignoring that it weren't them who called Clinton a "bitch" or laughed about it.

And send an email to Marc Santora

He's expressed a great deal of disdain for Rudy in the past...

It might have something to do with the fact that some (FAIR, specifically) call him an "Iraq War dissembler"...

something like only 8% of NH voters think he'd be the best candidate to beat the dem nominee. LOL


Walnuts McCain!

with its new and "improved" WSJ. If FOX gets Rudy elected, he will rewrite the media rules, allowing them lots of privileges that will allow them to rule NYC, driving the competition out of business. So, the NYT is supporting his rivals, like McCain.

It is an awful article, but I understand why the NYT is doing it. They have made up their minds that Rudy will be president over their newspaper's dead body. Expect to see them do anything they can to stand in his way.

That makes sense.
