Unsourced New York Times Attack On McCain 20 Years Old

Thursday’s NEW YORK TIMES writes in an unsourced article that John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was romantically linked to a then 40-year-old female political lobbyist 20-years ago and accused him of granting her clients political favors. The story also appears on the Drudge Report although no one could explain how it got the article.

The NYTs says the potentially “most damaging allegations contained in the article center on Mr. McCain’s reported conflicts of interests in the areas of political funding and lobbying.” This story has been rumored since late last year. McCain, it says, “has built a reputation as a scourge of the excesses of both but is accused of several instances of hypocrisy.”

McCain has fiercely denied the New York Times and Drudge Report as political clap trap. Wednesday evening it was panned as foolish and unreliable by the left and right. It appears the NEW REPUBLIC magazine forced the NYTs hand by threatening to report the “Ol’ Gray Lady” wasn’t printing the two decades old allegation
