Paper Buries McCain Denial to Front Page Accusation in Back of Paper…
By Clay Waters, NewsBusters.org
The fallout continues from yesterday's New York Times hit piece on John McCain. The paper itself doesn't seem eager to put up a fight as network news broadcasts, liberal bloggers, journalism professors, and the general public are questioning the Times's journalistic standards.
Yesterday's inflammatory story, which used anonymous sources to forward nine-year-old allegations from his first presidential run suggesting an improper relationship by John McCain with a female telecommunications lobbyist, received prominent front-page placement; today's follow-up on McCain's press conference was relegated to page 20 — Elisabeth Bumiller's "McCain Disputes That Aides Warned Him About Ties to Lobbyist."
