The allegations levied against Republican Senator John McCain, by
The New York Times, demonstrate nothing less than an outrageous effort to attempt to destroy the man’s reputation. Citing nameless sources that cannot be validated or verified, the paper employs a baseless tactic of trying to take advantage of a current political climate to create and manipulate a non-story. The manner in which the article is written seems to be nothing more than a mean-spirited, unethical ploy devised to shatter the man’s character and fine reputation by suggesting and implying so called “facts.” If the paper believes that their verbal attack of this man will sway people to cast their vote in another direction by influencing their viewpoints and tarnishing the reputation of Senator McCain, they are clearly misdirected in their shameful strategy.
The New York Times has used their medium and focused their reporting on tactics that discredit a highly respected and honest man who has honorably served this country. The paper’s lack of responsible and ethical reporting has demeaned it to a level devoid of professionalism, and it has stopped to the lowest possible level.
Regardless of one’s political affiliation or choice of candidate, anybody with an ounce of common sense will recognize the motivation and meaning behind these actions that target and attempt to discredit Senator McCain. What the paper must realize is that their unbecoming conduct has now motivated even greater numbers to cast their vote for McCain.
