This is why Republicans should focus on winning over the base rather than the media. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) is the closest thing to a media darling that Republicans have had in my lifetime, mostly due to his unrelenting willingness to throw fellow Republicans publicly under the bus. However, now that he's the only man between a Democrat and the White House, the courtship is over. John McCain is getting dumped.
Only one month removed from endorsing him for the Republican presidential nomination, saying, "he has demonstrated that he has the character to stand on principle," the New York Times is running a hit piece about McCain on their front pages, subtly accusing him of corruption and affairs (though they do not offer definitive proof of either). The newest of their information is nearly a decade old and they even rehashed some stories that have been public for fifteen years or more.
Despite a career of pandering to these types, they've wasted no time in throwing McCain under the Straight Talk Express. Maybe if he'd spent some time working with Conservatives rather than attacking us, we'd care a little about the smear. Instead, it just seems like he's getting a taste of his own medicine.
Yawn...
