New York Times
Editorial
This article shows Senator McCain's response to an ad that bashes Obama and has been run in North Carolina. The ad, as discussed in the article, makes a point to try to steer people away from voting for Obama because of his backround. The ad shows his former minister saying "God Damn America", and also makes commentary about Obama being black. According to the article, Senator McCain tried to get the ad pulled, but the republican party said no including the senator for North Carolina. The author hints that if McCain doesnt start to get control over his party then there could be worse things to come in terms of ads and such. The author of this article does a good job giving us the story, but definatly uses a lot of charged words. They use a lot of "we find" comments that means they are obviously biased. This causes a slight loss of credibility. Overall, it was an ok article that ahd both its strong points and weaknesses.

Since the author uses alot of we finds I dont consider him biased I just see him as not being able to make up his mind. The author dosen't say whether he is for Mccain or obama but you could assume he is for Mccain in presenting Mccain as a kind man wanting to pull the ad. The author explained the situation well and explained the ad well.
