Is The New York Times Setting the Old Media Up?
All the talking heads have said the NYTimes article is a "hit piece," and was done in bad taste.
The New York Times allied itself with the New Republic. If the NYT drops a bomb soon that proves McCain is a liar, the old media pundits will be eating alot of crow. And the NYT will come out on top...ahead of the curve with the help of the New Media.
The old media will be severely discredited for smearing the Times' article.

The NYT took one for McCain's team
They get to be the "bad, bad liberal media" and get Rush and the ditto's of the nation to send McCain money. Judge the tree by the fruit: NYT has been helping McCain.

Democrats to Seek FEC Investigation of McCain Financing
The Democrats are not going to let McCain's actions go without notice.
Will action be taken in time?

The NYT is quickly dying
Cutbacks...cutbacks...they had their chance and blew it. Subscriptions down...no going back now. Late hit pieces are just LATE and non-topical boring blather. Bye Bye NYT
The NYT IS the OLD MEDIA
Duh. Go get another 5 cups of coffee. They are the old media, silly. All they're doing now is swaying public confidence against mcinsane in order to bolster support for 'their girl'. And if you need a road map drawn out for you to figure out that hillary is 'their' girl, well...good luck.
MCCAIN Did It -- He Claims He Is Innocent // But He's Guilty
Vote RON PAUL 2008
_____________
A major newspaper like this isn't going to publish high-visibility, easy to discredit hearsay evidence, I just can't see them doing that. Certainly they must have sound background information to back up their story -- their very reputation as a mainstream media source would be otherwise flushed away and their existence put at stake considering WHO it is they reported on. I mean the guy is unwashed crud, no doubt about that and I believe there is yet more to possibly come out as regards this background information. I sure hope so because I want to see the man discredited for what he is and GONE.
That would move RON PAUL one step closer.
The NY times often lies
They have had previous problems with pliagiarism, mis-reporting and out right making up stories. It doesn't happen all the time, but more than they care to admit, and we don't always here about their mistakes.
I suppose McCain, like most Powerful Senators, is significantly less than honest, but so are Obama, and Clinton.
This is all a distraction.
IRONMAN
Vote RON PAUL 2008

And what exactly is this article telling us MCCAIN is a jerk actually distracting us from?
Old Media...
I always assumed that term meant the mainstream media in general and any media that was owned /or heavily influenced by large corporate backers.
It's funny, the L.A. Times thinks it's website is new media...But it's just the online version of an old media paper. By that logic, Fox's website would also be "new media." The Daily Paul is more new media than the NY or the L.A. times as most of its content is user generated by individuals.
Wow...what TNR stories did you read?
The one I read from The New Republic completely denounced the NYT article.
The day after the NYT article, I read Newsweek's article that showed McCain's testimony from a trial five years ago that proved McCain lied in his recent remark in which he claimed he had never talked directly to any of the lobbyists in the Iseman/Paxon scandal. In McCain's testimony five years ago, he said Paxon himself had called and talked to McCain for a while.
I don't know if you've
I don't know if you've noticed but it's the democrats turn to win. They are painting the picture and setting it up. Everyone pitches in. First they help the weakest and the worst republican candidate rise and then they slam him down. It's just the way it's supposed to go this time.
NO
It is the PEOPLE's turn to win. We have been waiting in line for many years, this is OUR year.
What are you talking about? New York Times IS old media.
The New York Times has been around a really long time.
And what are you referring to as the "New Media?"
Can you explain your terms?
Adwords would suggest otherwise
Definitely old media. I notice in my Gmail Google news alerts today a NYT adwords ad for people looking for Obama news.
With Ron Paul having 3 times more daily Google searches than Obabma this is either very stupid advertising or they do not want people thinking about our man.
That is a VERY odd campaign
Here is the ad copy
The Obama Campaign
Complete coverage of the senator's presidential bid on NYTimes.com
www. nytimes. com
And get this. The Obama page does not have a Google Page Rank (PR) whereas the NYT RP page has a 5/10 that is massive.

PR is a calculation of how important a page is.
They allied themselves with
They allied themselves with the new media, New Republic...
My understanding
that "Old Media" refers to newspaper, broadcast and cable television, and print. "Media" is the MEDIUM that something is on. New Media would be satellite and internet.
The New Republic
Is a piece of shit organization. That is where the Ron Paul newsletter smear came from. Those guys can kiss my ass.
If the NYT joined forces with TNR that's just another reason to detest both organizations.
