I read The New York Times every day, but I don't feel the same way about it. The McCain story they published was a non-story. As <a href="http://www.samefacts.com/archives/john_mccain_/2008/02/the_iseman_cometh.php" rel="nofollow">others have pointed out</a>, the AP version got directly to the important point: McCain's shilling on behalf of lobbyists. Why McCain has a reputation as a pillar of rectitude is beyond me. As to the Times' endorsement, who knows?

Surely they had this piece in development when they did that. And why did the NYT endorse McCain for Super Tuesday? Surely they had this piece in development when they did that.

I can't figure out what it's about. The talking heads can't stop talking about it. But they don't know what it means either. What do you think about the NYT piece about John McCain?
