[lbo-talk] NYT sat on wiretapping story for a year

[B.]

I actually posted this story earlier, but I'll say
that the past two years or so have been the Years from
Hell for the NYT. Conservatives still hate it, Chomsky
and other parts of the non-DNC left have always hated
it, and now they're certainly not pleasing anybody on
any side lately. Although the last couple of errors
they've made have been errors in favor of Bush, the
right still thinks it's a liberal organ, amazngly.

President Bush authorized the National Security Agency
to conduct domestic eavesdropping raised eyebrows in
political and media circles, for both its stunning
disclosures and the circumstances of its publication.
