From Lanny Davis at Huff post:

I have direct knowledge of a part of the issue reported in today's New York Times and Washington Post.

I was a lobbyist for one of the parties, WQED, a Pittsburgh public television station, which sought help from Senator John McCain with the FCC on its matter. The other two parties involved in this matter were Cornerstone Broadcasting and Paxson Broadcasting.

Bottom line: what was omitted from both the Times and the Post stories was that what I wanted Senator McCain to do, he refused to do. And he did so out of a concern of appearances of impropriety. That is a fact. ...

I guess Lanny is trying to help his old friend John?
