Double Standard?
(Fox News) - There seems to be a notable difference in coverage by The New York Times when it comes to the presidential candidates' medical history.
The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto points out a Times' editorial early last month called for the contenders to fully disclose their medical records. Three weeks later John McCain released a 1,000 page file to reporters. He also made his personal doctors available for questions during a scheduled 90 minute conference call that was cut to 45 minutes after questions stopped.
The Times' headline read, "Tight Control on McCain Files and Shortened Question Period."
But when Barack Obama released a one page written statement from his doctor last Friday, the banner was a bit different.
"Obama's Doctor, Praising His Health, Sees No Obstacles to Service."
