A campanha de John Mccain não perdeu tempo e já utiliza a notícia do NY Times em seu favor. Num email enviado aos apoiantes, Rick Davies, Campaign Manager, pede aos apoiantes de Mccain para contribuírem para ajudar a lutar contra a “liberal attack machine” do New York Times e dos seus aliados.
“Well, here we go. We could expect attacks were coming; as soon as John McCain appeared to be locking up the Republican nomination, the liberal establishment and their allies at the New York Times have gone on the attack. Today’s front-page New York Times story is particularly disgusting - an un-sourced hit-and-run smear campaign designed to distract from the issues at stake in this election. With John McCain leading a number of general-election polls against Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the New York Times knew the time to attack was now, and they did. We will not allow their scurrilous attack against a great American hero to stand.”
