The Times and McCain
Isn't the Times having premature electulation by running this type of story now and not after the conventions?

When I first saw Oberman talking about it I thought, "Oh no." But then the details:
Over eight years ago Only fears of a romantic relationship Unamed sources that used to work for McCain Olbermann kept trying to draw parallels with Clinton and Lewinski. That guy is a total idiot.

They both deny a romantic relationship, and even so this was eight years ago? Seemingly the disgruntled former staffer who's the source doesn't even know if there was an affair. This is news? What's gotten into the Times? I've never seen it sink so low.

this type of "article" should be sequestered to the realm of gossip sites not a major newspaper

It's complete BS. I read the NYT daily, but this is crap - to front page Natl Enqr type of stuff with NO on-the-record source. They would NEVER publish a story like this about Obama's alleged drug use. What a joke.

It's this type of crap that shows the WSJ is superior to the Times in serous domestic news reporting.
