What is the official Republican response to the NY Times allegations?

Let's face it, any newspaper that buries a foiled-terror plot (plans to explode bombs at Kennedy/ LaGuardia) on page A-16 doesn't have that much credibility to begin with. Since I don't read this paper I don't know what page this story is on, but I'm guessing it's A-1. Real journalism is and has been dead for quite some time. By the way, Im not a McCain supporter.
