Are you someone who thinks that the New York Times is "The Paper of Record?" I used to think that.
Yes. Operative words "used to."
Can you imagine a paper committed to quality and ethics doing this?
I saw on facebook that you went to Xavier, and if you don’t mind, I’d love to ask you some advice about a story. I’m a reporter at the New York Times, writing a profile of Cindy McCain, and we are trying to get a sense of what she is like as a mother. So I’m reaching out to fellow parents at her kids’ schools. My understanding is that some of her older kids went to Brophy/Xavier, but I’m trying to figure out what school her 16 year old daughter Bridget attends– and a few people said it was PCDS. Do you know if that’s right? Again, we’re not really reporting on the kids, just seeking some fellow parents who can talk about what Mrs. McCain is like.
Also, if you know anyone else who I should talk to– basically anyone who has encountered Mrs. McCain and might be able to share impressions– that would be great.
Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

We've seen our "top" papers dig in the trash for tidbits about the McCains and the Palins. We've seen columns (like the one referenced above) that even People Magazine would likely reject. All in a day's work, however, to do whatever they can do diminish the Republican ticket in the eyes of the American people.
All I can say is, they're making the National Enquirer look good.
