White House Blasts 'Bombshell' Press Attacks on GOP

ABC News

ABC News' Ann Compton Reports: With unexpected vehemence, White House spokesperson Scott Stanzel took the New York Times to task Friday morning for "try(ing) to drop a bombshell on the Republican nominee" by publishing allegations involving Senator John McCain, R-Ariz.

Responding to a question from the press, Stanzel asserted, "I think a lot of people here in (the White House) with experience in a couple campaigns have grown accustomed to the fact that during the course of a campaign, about -- seemingly on maybe a monthly basis leading up to the convention, maybe a weekly basis after that, the New York Times does try to drop a bombshell on the Republican nominee."

On Wednesday, the Times published a story linking McCain, the likely 2008 Republican nominee, to a Washington lobbyist. The Arizona Senator blasted the story and the paper, insisting, "It's not true."
