John McCain's White House campaign Monday lashed out at the media and declared the venerable New York Times was "150 percent" behind Democratic hopeful Barack Obama.

McCain senior strategist Steve Schmidt rebuked journalists he said had failed in their duty to submit Obama to intense scrutiny and accused news organizations of hounding McCain's running mate Sarah Palin.

"Whatever the New York Times once was, it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization," said Schmidt on a conference call with reporters.

"It is a pro-Obama advocacy organization that every day attacks the McCain campaign, attacks Senator McCain, attacks Governor Palin, and excuses Senator Obama.

"This is an organization that is completely, totally, 150 percent in the tank for the Democratic candidate, which is their prerogative to be, but let's not be dishonest and call it something other than what it is."

"It is an organization that has made a decision to cast aside its journalistic integrity and tradition to advocate for the defeat of one candidate -- in this case, John McCain."

The McCain campaign complaints were reminiscent of comments by the campaign of former Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton, which claimed the media was giving Obama an easy ride and not properly "vetting" his candidacy.

I know this has been posted about but this is a different source that points out the Hillary campaign had the same valid complaint.

The New York Times?

Don't they work for David Axelrod?

...the venerable venereal New York Times was "150 percent" behind Democratic hopeful Barack Obama.

It’s about time national figures openly state what most of us already know. I applaud the McCain campaign for issuing this statement.

A serious pop quiz. Are you helping to finance the NY Slimes and its attacks against Sarah Palin?

About one year ago, Morgan Stanley unloaded a steamy smelling pot of NY Slimes stock from one of its mutual funds.

Still many left wing controlled mutual funds own pot fulls of the stinking NY Slimes stock. Is one of your mutual funds wasting your retirement savings to keep the Ny Slimes afloat? If so, you are helping to fund the Ny Slimes campaign against Sarah Palin and America.

Here is something, we can all do this week to start eliminating the NY Slimes as a threat to our nation.

We can do it at our computers and do it in less than 1 hour. Besides sending a severe warning to the NY Slimes and the mutual fund companies which buy and own NY Slimes stock. We will improve our precious investment capital being wasted on NY Slimes stock.

If a few thousand freepers did this simple action this week and a few thousand new freepers, friends and relatives each following week, we will have a terminal impact on the vile NY Slimes acts like their trashing of Sarah Palin.

Please send this simple "how to" to your blogs, friends, relatives and email lists. This action will serve as a cannon shot across the bows fo the other Dinosaur Liberal Fish Wraps re sedition will not be tolerated any more.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

“Bravo”, Mr. Schmidt.

[Popman]

Very good. Someone in McCain camp needed to call out the NYT's and bitch slap them.

It's a no lose situation, if it ticks them off, they still will write negative stories about McCain. The people who have hear of this story will think "NYT's attacking McCain again"

If by some small slim chance a brain cell connects with another brain cell in Bill Keller thick skull, that maybe the NYT's should be more fair, the only result will be positive stories about McCain as they will never write a negative story on Obama.

Must be how Pinch got his black eye....

“Must be how Pinch got his black eye....”

He walked into a door knob.

[Pharmboy]

He just might have.

He has GOT to be the stupidest guy in NY. Imagine: a SULZBERGER who was refused admission to Columbia. That says it all...

The exchange came on a day when one woman in the audience at a McCain event in Scranton, Pa., grabbed a microphone, turned toward the assembled press and accused the journalists of liberal bias. The woman ripped reporters for focusing on the pregnant teenage daughter of Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee, while largely ignoring Obama’s ties to radical Bill Ayers and controversial Chicago businessman Tony Rezko.

“We want the media to start doing their job and stop picking on little children because of their age and their pregnancies,” she exclaimed. “Shame on you! Shame on all of ya’s!”
