Quote Of The Day
Filed under: Quote of the Day > Politik > John McCain
"Whatever The New York Times once was, it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization. It is a pro-Obama advocacy organization that every day attacks the McCain campaign, attacks Senator McCain, attacks Governor Palin, and excuses Senator Obama. This is an organization that is completely, totally, 150 percent in the tank for the Democratic candidate, which is their prerogative to be, but let's not be dishonest and call it something other than what it is. It is an organization that has made a decision to cast aside its journalistic integrity and tradition to advocate for the defeat of one candidate — in this case, John McCain."
- McCain senior campaign strategist Steve Schmidt

Yes your right PEREZ I thought you was a democrat. Yes who cares about the PALIN MC CAIN camp. F THEM
Dam Perez why are you saying this whos side are you on anyway ????????
Oh yeah I guess i should say FIRST
HEY! You don't talk about the Times that way!!!
BOO!
obama/08
What the hell is FOX?
McCain Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is starting to take affect. Look out world! YOU are next!
…..because the other New York City Based newspapers, Post and Daily news are totally reputable sources.
Dirty tricks are a big part of the game.
I would love to know why the media prances around Obama like he is God. You are all blinded by his meaningless words
What Bullshit!! This is the worst republican ticket ever, they blame everyone for their mess up! I wish they would stop trying to blame everone but their mother for their bullshit. If the paper had great things to say about them their response would be so different! The paper has posted negative statements about Obama as well, I do not hear them crying! They should stick to putting out their racists ads!!
Bill Clinton was on the view yesterday. Thatz the only

so true and so sad….what sell outs.
Oh please….liars!
Stop complaining, you have the Fox Network.
DOWN WITH JOHN MCCAIN!!!!!
Its completely true. Im an Independant because I cant stand all of the whiny crybabies on both sides. The New York Times is bluer than perez's balls. They whine about the right just like Keith Olberman. It makes me nauteous. Any tiny little twist they can find about the right they do and exploit it to the Nth degree without ever taking a look at Obamas faults. Of course the same holds true but against Obama for the Fox News Channel. It makes me want to move to Canada and I might just do that. Oh and BTW PEREZ HILTON is one of the reason our society is in the shitter and Im swimming amongst the shit because I look at it.
I'M IN THE DARK HERE!
That is 100% correct! Same can be said for NBC, MSNBC, CNN & the LA Times.
It's true…. I love the Post, I read it daily… but I totally agree that it plays favorites, politically. It's certainly not a good reference for accurate/unbiased current events.
Just saying. Maybe some of these movie stars should donate some money to help Galveston due to the storm. Pretty sad that no one has even mentioned helping Galveston. Galveston was hit just as hard as New Orleans was in Katrina. No one is even helping the people here. I think that it is horrible. I havent even seen anything anywhere that Angela, or any of the others have done a thing. I guess people only pick and choose who deseres help. Pretty sad.. We dont even get the media coverage anymore. Everyone has just forgotten, or never even cared. Very sad. I mean its great that Mia Farrow and Brad Pitt are helping Haiti, but we have places here in the United States that need help too. I guess people only want to help places where they can get attention. they should open their eyes and realisie that a lot of people here in Galveston lost everything and still dont have sewage, power, or water. they do not even have homes anymorw. Wake up people.
All media outlets with the exception of Fox is for Obama, they need to be journalist and be neutral to all parties and individuals!
Or maybe Obama and Palin just say fucked up shit more often than Obama.
The McCain staff is becoming a bunch of whining crybabies because things aren't going their way. Nothing was said when the media was attacking Barack and Hillary but when they have finally come to their senses and seen the corruption, ignorance and inadequacies of the McCain-Palin ticket, suddenly they have an issue…and what about Fox News? Their not exactly full of straight-forward, journalistic integrity but you aren't calling them out.
Grow up McCain staffers.
you people are idiots….the media is completely 100% democratic, thanks perez for putting this up becasue it is exactly what has gone wrong. Journalism needs to be biased and they are not….go read a book and figure out why people like McCain give you all the right to even put your stupid thoughts on here…FREEDOM….you take everything for granted and EXPECT things from everyone. Go live in a 3rd world country and then cry…..you have no idea what it means to give up youself for something bigger and neither do I…but i guarantee you this…I DO NOT TAKE IT FOR ADVANTAGE..thankless ignorant people…so sad.
well, at least mccain and palin have fox news. i mean, faux news.
You know it's bad when they begin to claim the NYTimes, one of the WORLD's most prestigious news sources, does not having journalistic integrity. Sad, sad, little republicans.
Wow….. This kinda reminds me of the Bully on the playground picking fights with everyone and then saying… " why isnt anyone paying attention to me? Hello… put the camera on me!!" Comical!
Re: imk –
Sorry John about the media,
putting hell hounds on your ass,
but I got to them first and Freddy
and Fannie gave me so much money.
I showered the media with it.
Can't the same be said of FOX news? they obviously LOVE McCain and think Obama is the anti-christ…just because a publication comes out and says the obvious - that McCain is flip flopping and Palin is unqualified does not mean they are fans of Obama…it only means that ARE NOT fans of McCain…stupid republicans…
Well, the NY Times has always been on my good side. I have no problem w/ their bias. Maybe they see what the rest of the nay-saying world SHOULD SEE!
This is what happens when you take intelligent logical thinking people who aren't rich and white…..they make an educated and logical decision. LOL.
Re: taravirginia – do you mean journalism needs to be unbiased? Being biased wouldn't make any sense.. unless you are writing for Fox "News." And honestly, it is not people like John McCain who makes posting comments on Perezhilton.com possible. I don't think you really know what you're talking about…
Well said Steve!! But it is not just the Times…it's ALL media who have cast aside their integrity and put their personal DEMOCRATIC beliefs first. Including PEREZ!! It's such a load of complete bullshit!!
AMEN! NEW YORK SLIMES!!!
THEY'RE FULL OF SHIT.
WOULD HE BE SAYING THAT IF THE NEW YORK TIMES WAS BACKING MCSAME?
UM, NO HE WOULDN'T.
MORE REPUBLICAN DESPERATION AT PLAY.
So sick of the liberal media tainting the election. You're lying to yourself if you say it's not true. You're also lying to yourself if you believe a liberal media means a liberal society. Just because we conservatives don't have a voice in the media (besides Fox News) don't think we won't show up by the millions and millions to vote for McCain.
Wonder what that makes Fox News. I'm sure McCain's camp loves them.
Boo hoo!
McCain and Palin have Fox 5 News and self-loathing women all over this country backing them…
Cry me a fucking river.
Big friggin' surprise… the media is liberall biased!
What I find interesting is that the media, and celebrities and such will go out of thier way to make fun of the Republican candidates, but you don't ever see the tables turned, do you. Try taking the high road once in a while Dems. (If you can find it.)
100% TRUE!!!
I hate this communism by obama. We are suppose to have a free press that tells us the truth. This country is acting like the Middle East. I guess that's what obama is aiming for.
I wouldn't vote for either of them if I could. I'm just glad I am not in the US.
btw: You're no different, Perez.
Bullies can dish it out, but throw tantrums when it's their turn, boo-hoo. Republicans are like 5-year olds.
Can you say FOX network??? whats the fucking difference..They are 200% pro- Republican..Why does the republican party feel so entitled to call groups out or point the finger..politics are politics…they all engage..
oooh WAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! THEIR JUST MAD CUZ THE NEW YORK TIMES IS A FANTASTIC CREDIBLE SOURCE OF NEWS AND ALWAYS CALLS THEMOUT ON THEIR SHIT. PEOPLE HEAR LIES ON THE NET BUT THE ONES WHO ARE SMART, PICK UP THE NY TIMES AND LEARN THE TRUTH. IS THE NY POST SUPPOSED TO BE A CREDIBLE NEWS SOURCE, IM SURE TO THE MCCAIN CAMP IT IS . LMFAO!!!!!!
glad someone finally said it
Maybe if McCain/Palin wasn't a TERRIBLE ticket for America, a news organization besides Fox would support them. It's common sense. You don't write an editorial praising the idiots just to be fair. Sheesh.
Re: Sexxii – 32 Absolutely right on! Anything as well to sway attention away from his "outted" chief of staff!
Re: Honey Rider – THEY MAKE FUN OF THE REPUBES CUZ IT'S SO FUCKING EASY. THEY'RE A JOKE, THAT'S WHY IF MCSHAME WINS, THE ONLY UPSIDE WILL BE THAT WE WILL HAVE TONS OF LAUGHS ON EVERY POLITICAL TALKSHOW, LATE NIGHT TALK AND COMEDY SHOW AND STAND-UP FO RTHE NEXT FOR YEARS. BELIVE ME OBAMA'S BEEN TAKING IT WAY BETTER THAN MCCSHAME/ PIGLING, THEY CRY EVERY DAY AND HIS ATTACKS AREN'T HALF AS BAD AS THEIRS.
It is absolutely true and NBC is worse. The idea of fair reporting from the media is non-existent. Fox news is def pro right, but they are least try to present a fair view, the NY Times and NBC don't even try…they just slam.
McCain/Palin 08
Re: taravirginia – 29 As much as it is a rag, the NY Post was media, bad as it is, last time I checked.
Boo hoo hoo!
………………..
MCCAIN MORE OF THE SAME!
MCCAIN MORE OF THE SAME!
This just proves that The New York Times is THINKING about what's best for the United States at the present time…and that choice is NOT McBush and Caribou Barbie. These two buffoons are not qualified to run the country and the Times is merely pointing it out. McBush and Barbie should retreat to their respective states and forget about the presidency.
Re: taravirginia – WHAT NEWS SOURCE ARE U READIND, I COULD NAME A BUNCH OF CONSERVATIVE PAPERS IN NYC, THE MOST LIBERAL STATE AFTER CALI. SOME ARE LIBERAL, SOME ARE EVEN BOTH, SOME AREW NEUTRAL. BUT THE NY TIMES IS A PAPER READ NATIONALLY AND GLOBALLY, THAT'S HOW GOOD THEY ARE. THEY ARE TRUSTWORTHY. RUPERT MURDCOCK, THE MOST CONSERVATIVE MAN IN THE MEDIA OWNS FOX, CONSERVATIVE, IGNORANT BIASED CRAP. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT
DON'T LOOK AT MY CHIEF OF STAFF! PLEASE!
You bad bad journalists!

Blah, blah, blah…..you point out their lies and they are attacking you. Factcheck.org has pointed all the lies and the misstatements they say. If you don't like the media pointing out facts - then don't tell the lies.
Heck, Palin only goes on FOX because she knows an interview will be a pep fest for her. Fox is not a news channel - it's just one long campaign commercial for McCain!
Ok Steve so what is Fox News.. Everyone needs to stop calling wolf on both sides.
Re: Renee26 – 54 Sad but true! Thought the same thing myself!

Re: loribaby1 – Oh yeah and FOX News is unbias as hell!
Ok who here actually reads the new york times?
Re: taravirginia – you people are idiots….the media is completely 100% democratic
Really? Somebody better tell FOX News!
Re: Renee26 – For the sake of our country's future, I hope and pray you are not a registered voter. Moron
Re: LettyB – It's just easier for me to say 'ditto' to your post.
I guess he wants it to be a cheerleader organization like Fox News. It's funny that they would condemn NYT but not also mention that FOX News is overtly showing them biased favouritsm. These people helped erode journalism and they are whining when one NYT has held on to it's journalist integrity. There are balanced stories on NYT every day, that praise both candidates and condemn both of them.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!! If you're going to be a TRUE JOURNALIST you should be able to give BOTH SIDES of a story. Cancelled my membership a year ago.
Barak Obama is going to speak at Latin Rap Conference The first ever Latino Hip Hop Awards Show is happening there on Nov. 20th www.LatinRapConference.com
Huh, weird. So, the New York Time is Just like Perez Hilton? Ok, now it makes sense.
Here's the problem. John McBush is telling so many lies, even rightwing commentators are startign to take him to task for that. Also, he's pointing out things about Obama and his advisors that he and his advisors are even more guilty of.
What he doesn't like is the fact that he and Palin's lies ae being exposed. The crazy thing is that they keep telling the lies. Palin keeps talking about not being for the Bridge to Nowhere. Not only was she for it, but when public opinion finally forced her to turn against it, she kept the money anyway. She's now lying and saying she fired the chief of state troopers because he took an unauthorized trip to D.C. to lobby for money, to assist in investigating sexual assault cases (a women's issue if I've ever seen one). As it turns out, the trip was authorized by her chief of staff. They are just LIARS.

TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO BLAME THE "SO CALLED" DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS FOR THE COUNTRY'S WOES, BOTH FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE!!!
.
NUMBER ONE!
THE DEMOCRATIC "MAJORITY" IS BASICALLY A 50-50 SPLIT BETWEEN THE DEMOS AND THE REPUBLICANS, RENDERING IT POWERLESS TO MAKE POLICY WHEN THE INHERENT POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY ARE CONSIDERED–EVEN UNDER A WEAKLING LIKE BUSH!
.
NUMBER TWO!
WHILE RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS MAY ENJOY PUMMELING NANCY PELOSI WHO IS A QUOTE SAN FRANCISCO DEMOCRAT END QUOTE AND HARRY REID, A DEMOCRAT FROM SIN CITY LAS VEGA$, THEY EACH HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE AND LEADERSHIP ABILITY THAN THE REVLON "PLUM RAISIN" LIPSTICK WEARING PIG FROM ALASKA!!!!!
.
AND… IF ANYBODY WANTS TO DEFEND THIS CHICK GO AHEAD–AS LONG AS YOU CAN DOCUMENT YOU EVEN HEARD OF HER BEFORE MCCAIN ANNOUNCED HER AS HIS CHOICE.
.
LIPSTICK ON A PIG–STILL A PIG!
.
.
And Fox news is?????
The NYTimes has been around longer than EVEN JOHN MC CANE. As in walking stick idiot.
Beside being troubled that he is Republican, I'm troubled by him overlooking several more highly qualified Republican women with far more scope than Palin. Why her?
And what does this say about his decision making?
And lose the cue cards. Obama can tell it like it is on several topics without reading verbatim index cards. Watching McCain talk using index cards is troublesome because we've
ALREADY have had several Republican Presidents who can't think on their feet or sitting down. Have your own original thoughts ready at the go. If you can't then move ovaah!
McCain's attack of the New York Times is showing a distain for the press that we've endured all these years under Bush. A free press is one of the guarantee's of our Constitution. Does he plan on altering it like Bush has? A vote for McCain is basically flushing the toilet on America.
Re: sweetpiece – HEY CUTESTUFF!
Understatement of the year.
Re: Honey Rider – SINCE THE DAY I TURNED 18, AND I'M GONNA VOTE FOR OBAMA ALL THE WAY. YOU'RE THE FUCKING MORON. FUCKING SNOT NOSED BRAT! FUCK OFF CUNT! MAYBE I'LL CAST A SPELL ON YOU TOO AND YOU'LL DIE JUST LIKE THAT OTHER CUNT PISSED ME OFF!
Sounds good to me!
I agree, it's sad to see that news organizations can't stay impartial.
Re: Bdub – Your Avator says SNOB with a picture of Obama. Mmmm who has 7 houses, 13 cars and his wife wears a $30,000.00 to the convention. You might have that a little backwards!
Re: LettyB –
#1 (IN MY BOOK, TOO!)
HELLO DARLING! MY YOU'RE LOOKING AWFULLY DISTINGUISHED
TODAY! KISSES, LG
Very well articulated and 150% TRUE!
Re: Leona$ Gho$t – HELLO DARLING!
Newspeople have sold
their credibility for the sake
of politics.
.
There was a time in this country when
being a reporter meant something.
Being a reporter was a nobel thing, the long
voice of reason telling the people the truth,
standing up to the tyrants, letting
Joe Everyman and Everywoman know the
unbiased truth.
.
Being a reporter meant something,
it was the lone knight fighting the
fire breathing monster to save the people
of the village, and sometimes winning
and often losing but fighting the good
fight, defending those who could not
defend themselves.
It's the total truth. And it's the Dems who olie - Mr. Saint Obama claiming to take the high road while secretly paying a company to fake "viral" anti-Palin smears. The Dems are horrible, and the NY Times is their newsletter.
Being a reporter was bold and true and
underpaid but it was never about money
or going to the right parties, it was
about standing for truth and letting
the chips fall where they may.
.
It was the brave speaker speaking for
those who had no voice.
It was nobel. It was the modern
day gunslinger defending the small
town of scared townspeople who did
not dare stand up to the outlaws who
can to town to pillage and rape and kill.
.
Being a reporter was defending the
slaves against the evil masters, no
matter the odds.
Not anymore.
Now being a reporter
means pleasing the power brokers
and the powerful, so you get invited to
the right parties, so you get the pleasing
television coverage on the right shows,
so the Hollywood royalty will pat you on the
head and say "good doggie' and give you an interview.
.
Being a reporter today is being a paid shill
and a willing slave for whomever will make sure
you get invited to the right events and get
you your face time on the popular TV shows.
.
Being a reporter now means selling your soul
and your integrity for a few pieces of silver
and the pat on the head from the power
brokers.
.
FORGET CALLING THE YELLOW TOOTHED KEATING 5 CROOK MCSTAIN–FROM NOW ON IT'S "MCINSANE!!!"
whinewhinewhine… sounds like someone doesn't get the press they want. I guess you shouldn' have started working for the odd couple
What a crybaby. This is an election. If you don't expect to get attacked by virtually every news outlet in this country, then you shouldn't be running for President.
Being a reporter means being part of the pack
and following the popular line and being
a good slave, helping fool the other slaves with
your mastery of words, all to serve the
masters who hold you in contempt
behind your back.
.
Being a reporter used to be nobel,
a modern day knight.
Now the knights have sold their soul and
their fight and their integrity for a few
peices of silver and an invite to
the "right" parties and events.
.
Now no one is left to speak
for the little people, the people who can not
speak for themselves.
.
Enjoy your silver reporters, enjoy
your pats on the head, for you have no soul now,
you have sold your honor and your truth
and you are just lying lead sheep,
leading the rest of the sheep who trust you into
the lair of the wolves, to be eaten alive.
.
How dare you call yourselves reporters,
you are now unpaid political hacks
and willing slaves to your laughing rich masters!
.
My name is Rash Manly and you can quote me,
I work for the people and I won't be invited to any parties,
and you can keep your silver and your pat on the head.
Perez - quoting this piece of shit without revealing that he is a protégé of Karl Rove is completely irresponsible, if you claim ANY credibility as a journalist.
.
Schmidt's hiring as McCain's campaign head coincides with the mainstream press finally reporting critically about McCain. before his hiring, McCain had been very careful to staying on the good side of the press, but all of that went out the window when Rove and his people took over McCain's faltering campaign.
.
Perez - for the sake of your own reputation, START FACT-CHECKING THIS STUFF BEFORE YOU PRINT IT!!!!!
I completely agree. You have the NYT, the LA Times and the Wash Post on the liberal side — openly, passionately — and you have Fox on the conservative side. To get anything resembling the real story you have to read both sides and filter. That ain't news. That's commentary, but it's not news.
THAT IS A TOTAL BULLSHIT LIE FROM SCHMIDT - PACK OF LIARS, ALL OF THEM.
-
- And this same guy is counting on you to be DUMB enough to belive him.
-
THE LUNACY AND PROPOGADA SPEWED BY REPUBLICANS IS DISGUSTING.
Again,
McCains strategy is to bash Obama calling him paralyzed in the face of the economic disaster!
What a joke! This from the man who said "the fundamentals of our economy are strong!", less than 2 weeks ago, while Lehman Bros.and Merrill Lynch were collapsing.
He went on to say later that we should not bail out AIG, then the next day changed his rhetoric again. Confuses SEC with the FEC after stating he would fire SEC chairman Cox.(oops! President cannot do that) "I believe that the chairman of the FEC should resign and leave office and be replaced." Ha,ha,ha!
He is an IDIOT as is anyone who would waste a vote on him! Remember back in 2004 when he stated the economy wasn't his "strong point"? Nothing has changed!
…………
MCCAIN MORE OF THE SAME! He represents the party that is in power now and is still screwing us over! While the 1% are laughing all the way to the bank!
MCCAIN MORE OF THE SAME!
