24. 150 percent?

And this from his strategist, plucked from Bush's bosom, who's supposed to be good with numbers.

Any wonder the economy is teetering on total collapse?

27. McCain isn't going to get anywhere by bullying the media

As a wise man once said: "Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel." :D

[debbierlus]

28. Add Politico to the list - they offered factual corrections and were told they were 'in the tank'

With Obama...

Boy, what a bunch of whiney, lying, toddler, BRATS...

They hate it. They can't believe the media is actually tattling on them.

32. no denials -- just shooting the messenger

[vendredi]

33. Fox

McCain, just put down the paper and switch on Fox News for a "Fair and Balanced" REPUG NEWS SOURCE. Geez, why's he even reading the Times?

[regularguy]

34. Not enough "deference", I guess. nt

[ThoughtCriminal]

36. Notice the lack of specifics in theircomplaints

Can Schmidt cite any examples of false information in the NYT's coverage of the McCain campaign?...

No, the last thing they want to do is bring any of those issues up.

[and-justice-for-all]

37. NYT is "150 percent" behind Democratic hopeful Barack Obama...

So is the rest of the world. NO one with a brain wants another fascist pres.

"It is a pro-Obama advocacy organization that every day attacks the McCain campaign"; what a bunch of fucking whiners! It really hurts to be served your own poison, tough fucking shit McBastard.

Now the NYT is not a journalistic Organization because they call McInsane out on his bullshit? BooHoo.
