Cablers Jump On McCain Lobbyist Story
Keith Olbermann broke into the Hardball re-air at 7:45pmET to report the news, about the same time the story went on NYTimes.com. Olbermann stayed with the story for a half hour repeating it through the remainder of Countdown. Dan Abrams picked up coverage at 9pmET. CNN reported the news during the last 10 minutes of Lou Dobbs Tonight, and again during Election Center at 8pmET.
Hannity & Colmes had the most fortuitous booking of the night: McCain's lawyer Bob Bennett. Bennett had been invited on to talk about his new book, but wound up spending most of the time talking about The New York Times story. Bennett joked, "are you gonna have me back to talk about my book?" The McCain campaign released a statement, which in part reads, "It is a shame that the New York Times has lowered its standards to engage in a hit and run smear campaign." Email This Post |
