NEW YORK TIMES LATEST UGLY

Who did what to who?Those slobbering over the unsourced New York Times expose’ alleging SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN’s romantic affair with a woman telecommunications lobbyist and favoring her clients should recall: (1.) The New York Times cited Kitty Kelly 1991 book “Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography” alleging NANCY REAGAN had White House tryst with FRANK SINATRA and made the story big news despite no evidence, and (2.) the NYTs virtually ignored Juanita Broderick’s substantive allegations that Bill Clinton, while ARKANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL, had raped her. Kelley was herself the subject of a highly critical book, Poison Pen (1991), by journalist George Carpozi, Jr. in September 1997. TIME magazine reported that most journalists believe Kelley “too frequently fails to bring perspective or analysis to the fruits of her reporting and at times lards her work with dollops of questionable inferences and innuendos.” This partisan New York Times “poison pen” attack is helping McCain solidify conservatives, even Rush Limbaugh. The New York Times is helping McCain and reminds me why I cancelled my NYT subscription. It may believe anything is worth staunching falling subscriptions, tumbling ad revenues, and a deflating reputation. It is still stinky, tawdry and inexcusable.
