WorldNetDaily's Kohn: "evidence" suggests Kerry having an affair with New
York Times reporter

Without citing any sources, in a May 1 WorldNetDaily "Exclusive Commentary,"
author Bob Kohn claimed that "evidence suggests" Senator John Kerry is
having an affair with a New York Times reporter. Under the headline "Gray
Lady goes to bed with Kerry," Kohn wrote, "Evidence suggests that a New York
Times reporter covering the Kerry campaign may be sleeping with the
presumptive nominee of the Democrat Party." The "evidence" that Kohn
presented is a laundry list of instances he insisted demonstrate bias on the
part of The New York Times or instances from which he inferred that the
reporter had special access to Senator Kerry. He all but named the reporter
by citing specific passages from articles with her byline; then he cited
serial fabricator Jayson Blair as a source for his charge that New York
Times reporters trade "favorable" stories for sex. For example, Kohn wrote:

Leaving aside the interesting question of how this female Times reporter
learned that Kerry "rarely finishes" watching the movies he started, you
just have to wonder what is going on here...

In his book "Burning Down My Masters' House," Jayson Blair described how
Times reporters, both male and female, are commonly offered theater tickets,
free meals, drinks and sometimes even sex in exchange for favorable mentions
in their stories. A large number of journalists at the Times, he says, "have
a weak spot for sex."

Do the Democrats have another Bill Clinton running for president?
