13. NYT has been off the pedestal for a while, they look foolish sitting on the story so long..

Then magically publishing it when another news organization was going to report on it/point out the reasons why the Times held the story. I know that journalism takes time, reasearch, and confirming sources, but you open yourself up to criticism when you put out a story only when threatened by a rivals actions.

BTW: it was absolutely the best thing to publish this and I am all for aggressive reporting by papers (right or wrong). McCain is a shadowy character IMHO and more layers will be peeled off this rotten onion!
