Biden campaign rips NY Times for running Schweizer op-ed on Ukraine: 'Are you truly blind?'

Joe Biden's presidential campaign ripped The New York Times for “giving top billing" to Peter Schweizer after the newspaper published an op-ed from the "Clinton Cash" author that contends that the former vice president was "self-dealing" in Ukraine during President Obama's second term.
CNN reported the objection came in a letter Wednesday night to the Times executive editor, Dean Baquet, from Biden Deputy Campaign Manager Kate Bedingfield, who called the decision to run the column an "active participation" in a "smear campaign" against the former vice president.
"This leaves us with a critical question: are you truly blind to what you got wrong in 2016, or are you deliberately continuing policies that distort reality for the sake of controversy and the clicks that accompany it?" Bedingfield asks Baquet.
