In response to a New York Times editorial published November 5, Boycott The New York Times editor Don Feder said the paper continues to misrepresent John McCain and display a profound ignorance of basic economics.
On The Times' characterization of McCain's campaign, Feder writes, “The Times claims Obama won, in part, because John McCain 'forsook his principles for a campaign built on anger and fear.' The media has been feeding us this line since the nominating conventions: mean old John McCain is cruelly campaigning on Obama's connection to ex-terrorist William Ayers and the Democrat's promise to spread the wealth."
Feder said that although The Times rationalized Obama's promise to redistribute income and his past associations with extremists, both were legitimate campaign issues.
Noting that The Times would flunk a freshman course in economics, Feder writes, "The New York Times fervently believes that the way help what it calls the 'many millions' left far behind is to drive more corporations overseas, to take from the wealthy the income they'd otherwise invest to create jobs and to regulate the economy into another depression."
Feder concludes, "When President Obama and a Democratic Congress take a wrecking ball to the economy over the next two years, who will The New York Times then blame for the resulting debacle? Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Sarah Palin?" Read the entire rebuttal of The Times editorial
