A senior adviser to Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Monday that The New York Times is “completely, totally, 150 percent in the tank” for Democratic nominee Barack Obama. Steve Schmidt, McCain’s senior adviser, unleashed an attack on the paper during a conference call with reporters in response to a question about a story appearing in Monday's edition. That article is about McCain campaign manager Rick Davis’s time lobbying for an organization that carried the banner for recent bailed out mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “Whatever The New York Times once was, it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization,” Schmidt said. |
