Vast right-wing media declares war on left-wing liberal media

[kentuck]

John McCain's reported indiscretions seem to have united the conservatives to his side. They have all locked arms in their battle against the NY Times. Even Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are now on the McCain bandwagon. Of course, this could be only a temporary ride on this wagon. As soon as they see the opportunity for another candidate to take McCain's place, they may be thankful to the Times? Presently they are circling their wagons to protect themselves. However, this could change in an instant. They have no abiding loyalty to John McCain.

1. Right--the hilarious thing is the framing: The NYT is "liberal". Sure.

Like they didn't carry water for ChimpCo all those years.

4. Whitewater and the War on Iraq-neither would have been possible without the NYT

with the former the NYT thought they were going to get them a President (like the Post already had) but it got so ridiculous that they even backed off (and Newsweek picked up the ball).

6. Indeed

2. I guess the Times will just have to spend the rest of this election cycle

proving that they're not part of the liberal media. What a surprise!

3. Why, it's like they want him to win.

That can't be! they're latte-sippin' Prius-drivin' liberals there at the Times who hate a strong neocon War Preznit!
