Back in the spring, the "irresponsible in the tank for Obama NYT" published an article suggesting that Vicki Iseman was romantically involved with John McCain.
My initial reaction was disbelief. Infidelity rumors get around quick in political circles. There have never been any such rumors about McCain.
After reading the story, I was even more angry. It was a hit job on McCain!
Vicki Iseman is very mad and taking The NY Times to court. Can she win?
Roger Simon thinks that The NY Times may be in trouble:
"I have no direct knowledge of the case or of Iseman, but if I were the Times, I would be afraid.
I would be very afraid.
They have a lot more to lose than the 27 million bucks in the suit.
Their reputation is already tarnished and their bottom line diminishing.
If Iseman can prove her case to the public’s satisfaction, it will constitute yet more bruising and a serious humiliation for the sometime “newspaper of record”.
Those who have been accusing them of being nothing more than a scandal sheet - and a biased one at that, unlike the National Enquirer - will be vindicated.
Indeed, if Ms. Iseman wins her case, the Times’ editors and publisher will be revealed to have been simultaneously boneheaded and despicable - an ugly combination indeed."
Besides Vicky Iseman, The NY Times is dealing with serious financial problems.
Go Vicky go. Put the final nail in The NY Times' coffin!
