Lawyer for Cindy McCain Asks Why New York Times Isn’t Looking for Barack Obama’s Drug Dealer

In response to an article published by the New York Times in which Cindy McCain’s past battles with drug addiction and miscarriages were highlighted John Dowd, attorney for the prospective first lady, slammed the newspaper for its hypocrisy and asked why the details of Barak Obama’s history haven’t been examined just as closely.

 

Dowd sent New York Times managing editor Bill Keller a response to Saturday’s article stating, “It is worth noting that you have not employed your investigative assets looking into Michelle Obama. You have not tried to find Barack Obama's drug dealer that he wrote about in his book, Dreams of My Father, nor have you interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them. Thus, there is a terrific lack of balance here.”

 

Obama spoke of his past drug use in his book yet there has been little in the way of media coverage or an investigative report on the Democratic presidential candidate’s less than favorable moments.

 

The New York Times has come under constant fire for its portrayal of the presidential candidates in the 2008 election. With an obvious bias towards the Obama-Biden ticket the publication has, in the words of McCain-Palin spokesman Michael Goldfarb, “employed tactics that are obviously unprofessional and almost certainly unethical.”

 

Goldfarb responded to the Cindy McCain article by stating, “The New York Times has stooped lower than this campaign ever imagined possible in an attempt to discredit a woman whose only apparent sin is being married to the man that would oppose that paper's preferred candidate, Barack Obama, in his quest for the Presidency.’
