Douglas Chick -- TheNetworkAdministrator.comIn the mist of what seems like so many political sex scandals, I find it more than curious that The New York Times is being attack for running the John McCain sex / lobbyist scandal? Killing the messenger is a staple political response to getting caught with your “hands” in the cookie jar. If true, is this a case of being in a lobbyist’s pocket and pants? I wonder if the most successful lobbyist put out? After all, you don’t give up military secrets to frigid spies?  My questions are:

If a politician lies, should they be banded from holding any type of office, like convicted felons are to vote?

If a news organization prints false allegations that ruin people’s lives, should they be held financially accountable?

An honorable man admits his mistakes, as we are all human. It is interesting that great men of honor, and all of those that populate our local jails, none ever admit guilt.

first of all, the "viet nam enemy rumor" is just that, a rumor, propaganda at it;s best.. it was all falsified during the Bush campaign by push polling, emails and word of mouth , and if you listened CAREFULLY, the NYT DID NOT accuse mccain of the scandal, they said things that LED up to there being a scandal..FURTHERMORE, the nyt is NOTORIOUS for propaganda BS...and YES, if a politician lies, and it's PROVEN to be a lie, then he should be banned from running, the sad part is, show me a politician that doesn't lie...

I do not think this is over. I think that the hammer will drop, and McCain was setup so he would publically lie. If this is truly what the NYTimes has to offer, then they will have to publically account for this.

i think the media in general needs to claim accountability for their actions..too many print things that are not true, they're one of our biggest enemies. it's sad because we have too many idiots that can't think for themselves and the media is starts the game of telephone. If most people would get their heads out of hollywood's A^&, then maybe intelligence would prevail
