In a February 23 article, The Washington Post quoted a fundraising letter from Sen. John McCain's campaign asserting that "bjective observers are viewing" a February 21 New York Times article about McCain's relationship with a telecommunications lobbyist "as a sleazy smear attack from a liberal newspaper against the conservative Republican frontrunner." The Post did not note, however, that one of the "bjective observers" quoted in the email was none other than Robert Bennett -- an attorney hired by McCain specifically to deal with issues related to the Times' reporting.

In addition to Bennett, two of the three other "bjective observers" listed by McCain campaign manager Rick Davis in the letter were conservative Fox News host Sean Hannity and former Republican Congressman and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough (FL).
