New York Times:

Speaking in Albuquerque on Monday, Senator John McCain attacked Senator Barack Obama on several fronts that by now have become familiar. But many of his charges relating to the economic meltdown, taxation and health care contained inaccuracies or exaggerations of his own position or Mr. Obama's.

Why is it that the NYT spends so much time going through McCain speeches with a fine toothed comb when they spend no time whatsoever playing this sort of game with Obama?

----------­----------­----------­----------­----------

Because when the point of the article is to expose lies, you have to write about the speech that contains them.

P.S. Please don't feed the tro//s.

The NYT is incredibly lame.
They mince their words like a homeless mutt dog kicked in the balls by the McCain Campaign, and they refuse to lay out the truth in real words and instead couch their terms in flowery underpants, as if the next step will break all the eggs those losers are cowering over.
Stand up and have some integrity and dignity and defend yourselves and speak the truth to power or just go away like the fading fog you are now.

Remember, The New York Times is only right "After & when McCain-Palin distorts what's written in the New York Times, and then McCain-Palin spew Those distortions while Campaigning & talking with the Media!"

Other then that..... McCain-Palin says that the New York Times and other Media outlets are Bias towards & for Sen.Obama & all other Democrats.­..........

First of all; everyone is Bias (even if it's only to a degree), second of all; The most sound way to know if someone or People in general are lying " A Person would have to research as much Information possible, in-order to find & see what (could be) the actual truth of a matter--issue is."

I sure wish Tim Russert were still around. I'd like to hear his take on the sorry ass excuse McCain is calling his campaign

Why do you at Huffpo refuse to make the logical conclusion ...that...The Mccain campaign is lying...making both McCain and Palin LIARS???

Wouldn't it save precious energy if the newspapers and broadcast news outlets just ran with the succinct -- but adequate -- summary:

"At today's rally in Somewheresville, Swing State, Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin lied again about Barack Obama consorting with domestic terrorists as a second grader. In other news, you've lost more of your life savings as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell again ...."

They're not "inaccuracies", they're lies.

Why can't we tell the truth about John McCain? Liar, Cheat, Thief.

This is reminiscent of the ongoing child rape scandal of the church of Rome: no accountablity, no duty to speak the truth, and no hope for any future, as a result.

Just like John McCain: Cindy's Liar.

We need more stories like these on the front pages (above the fold) of every newspaper in US.

It seems inherently wrong that we don't fact check both sides at the same time....I wonder how the NYT would have reported on the teachings of Jesus if they did not have the same views.

Do you read the NYT... ??? They have columnists from both sides of the aisle.

And they have done numerous "fact-checks" on each candidate.
