The Obama Times

For anyone out there who still beleves the fairy tail that the New York Times is an actual news orginazation this should set you straight.

This from FOX News.

"The New York Times last week blocked an opinion piece submitted by John McCain to the newspaper shortly after it printed a piece by his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, McCain campaign officials confirmed to FOX News on Monday.

Obama’s piece detailed his plans for Iraq and Afghanistan. While McCain’s proposed piece also discussed Iraq, The Times told McCain’s advisers that it would not accept the op-ed in its current form because it did not offer new information. Obama’s speech previewed a series of speeches leading up to a highly publicized trip to war zones in the Middle East.

“It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama’s piece,” Times op-ed editor David Shipley wrote the campaign via e-mail, The Drudge Report first reported on Monday.

“I’m not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written,” Shipley said in the e-mail late Friday.

Drudge reported that Shipley also said: “The Obama piece worked for me because it offered new information (it appeared before his speech); while Senator Obama discussed Senator McCain, he also went into detail about his own plans.”

The McCain campaign confirmed McCain’s side of the story, and issued a glancing statement regarding the matter.

“John McCain believes that victory in Iraq must be based on conditions on the ground, not arbitrary timetables. Unlike Barack Obama, that position will not change based on politics or the demands of the New York Times,” McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said."

"FOX News’ Shushannah Walshe contributed to this story."

I guess the tantrums from the socialist left about the fairness docturn is just another shallow pool.

The New York Times lost it's credibility years ago this is just another nail in the coffin of traditional "news media"

It is clear now that there will be nothing negative said about Obama in the main stream media. He has become Caligula like in his boldness. He knows no matter what he says, no matter how many different postions he takes on the same issue, no matter how many times he screws up about some historical fact (The bomb that was droped on Pearl Harbor), he will be protected by his deciples in the media. They have an agenda, and the facts are not gonna get in the way of fulfilling the desteny that is the Barack Obama.

One thing is for certain, Puddin Head Kenta has promised (acording to his on platform) to distory this country economicaly, and start the US on a downward sprial of europian socialism that we may never peacefully reverse.
