[See NewsBusters for more.] One clue that the New York Times might have gone too far by publishing aggressive hit pieces on Marco Rubio: Even Andrea Mitchell thinks the liberal paper made a mistake. After playing a clip of Jon Stewart mocking the Times, Mitchell said of the articles on the Republican's speeding habits and his lack of wealth: "How is [this] front page news?"  The cable anchor insisted that the paper's treatment of Rubio "certainly look[s] like an opposition dump." Susan Page of USA Today agreed, asserting that the presidential candidate's struggles are ones that "a lot of Americans would identify with, using money from his book advance to pay off his student loan, for instance."
