Media: NYT sued again

Remember how the New York Times mentioned a rumored affair between Sen John McCain and a lobbyist as a way to illustrate a way McCain might be behaving unethically if in fact the rumors might be true? Well, she’s suing.

    Billy, if it were you being defamed, and you were going to sue for 27 million dollars in damages for a story published last February, would you wait this long to clear your name?

    It’s going to be an uphill battle for her. The basis for her case will be her word (a lobbyist) and those of an adulterous politician (John McCain). I can’t imagine that the NYT was that negligent especially after the revelations concerning Judith Miller’s (Ahem) reporting in the run up to the Iraq War.
