Here's the story first coming to light 2 months ago...Notice the date...
MEDIA FIREWORKS: MCCAIN PLEADS WITH NY TIMES TO SPIKE STORY
Thu Dec 20 2007 10:49:27 ET
Then...Over ONE MONTH later...the same paper ENDORSES the guy for the Republican nomination!!!...
Editorial
Primary Choices: John McCain
Published: January 25, 2008
This was a setup all along...the story itself seems to be a simple "he said-she said", but the TIMING is remarkable...
The New York Times couldn't hurt the Republicans by trashing McCain two months ago because he was usually running 3rd or 4th in the contests...taking a swipe at him would've just made the guys in front look better (at the time, Mitt and Huck)...The NYT would have to find trash on THEM which they didn't have...So the NYT sits on the story, HELPS McCain get to frontrunner status with an endorsement, THEN when it's clear he'll be the nominee, they take the story they've been sitting on and make it public to hurt him...
Imagine that...Endorsing the guy you know you're going to stab later...What objective journalism!...

Is objective journalism means yellow journalism? Hmmm...I too smell something fishy here.
