McCain critical of the NY Times

McCain is finally going after the real enemy in this election... the media.
The New York Times recently caught his ire. Spokesman Steve Schmidt said:
"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."
In response, the Obama camp tried to suggest that there was no bias on the part of the New York Times. (The Obamaniacs at the Times must be protected at all costs!)
To try to diffuse criticism of the Times, Obama spokespeople released a list of articles that they felt were critical of Obama.
I've chosen my favorite titles from that list, and post them below. Remember, these are supposed to be articles critical of Obama.

  • In Law School, Obama Found Political Voice [New York Times, 1/28/07]
  • Charisma and a Search for Self In Obama's Hawaii Childhood [New York Times, 3/17/07]
  • After 2000 Loss, Obama Built Donor Network From Roots Up [New York Times, 4/3/07]
  • A Candidate, His Minister and the Search for Faith [New York Times, 4/30/07]
  • An Obama Patron and Friend Until an Indictment in Illinois [New York Times, 6/14/07]
  • In Illinois, Obama Proved Pragmatic and Shrewd. [New York Times, 7/30/07]
  • Loyal Network Backs Obama After His Help. [New York Times, 10/1/07]
  • Obama in Senate: Star Power, Minor Role [New York Times, 3/9/08]
  • Obama Secret Service Agent Tied To Sex Joke [New York Times, 5/15/08]
  • The Story of Obama, Written by Obama [New York Times, 5/18/08]
  • Many Blacks Find Joy in Unexpected Breakthrough [New York Times, 6/5/08]
  • Where Whites Draw The Line [New York Times, 6/8/08]
  • Obama’s Organizing Years, Guiding Others and Finding Himself [New York Times, 7/7/08]
  • As a Professor, Obama Enthralled Students and Puzzled Faculty [New York Times, 7/30/08]

That last one really hurts.
Ouch! How can his students be enthralled with him? That's clearly biased against him. -And the story of Obama, written by Obama? Now that's some hard-hitting journalism.
I thought I'd share that list of what the spokepeople of the Obama camp feel are articles that are critical of them.

In other criticism, Obama can't actually walk on water.
