It's not all that complicated, folks.
John McCain wants to change DC, Barack Obama wants to change America.
One candidate believes in and cares about this country, one doesn't.
It's your vote. Make it count.

When blabbermouths lie: Question the timing
Contributed by Bill Faith

Michelle Malkin writes:

NYTimes executive editor Bill Keller lied to readers about the paper's anonymous leak-dependent NSA terrorist surveillance story published in December 2005. First, the relevant passage from NYTimes' public editor Byron Calame's Sunday column:

[...]

In my January column, in which I refused to rely on anonymous sources, I noted that I was left “puzzled” by the election question. But I have now learned from Bill Keller, the executive editor, that The Times delayed publication of drafts of the eavesdropping article before the 2004 election. This revelation confirms what anonymous sources had told other publications such as The Los Angeles Times and The New York Observer in December.

[...]

Lesson No. 1: Never trust the Times' headlines.

Lesson No. 2: Never trust what's printed under the Times' headlines.

Lesson No. 3: Never trust what comes out of the mouths of the Times' editors and reporters.
