NYT justifies 'withholding Davis' CIA link information at Obama administration's plea'
We knew this the day we first read about it.
The New York Times as well as some other US newspapers had 'withheld information' about double murder-accused Raymond Davis' ties to the Central Intelligence Agency "at the request of the Obama administration," misleading their readers and also damaging their credibility in the process.
How Damaging what? You don't get outside your bubble much, do you?
"The New York Times had agreed to temporarily withhold information about Mr. Davis's ties to the agency at the request of the Obama administration, which argued that disclosure of his specific job would put his life at risk. Several foreign news organizations have disclosed some aspects of Mr. Davis's work with the CIA," admitted the paper in its story on Monday after "American officials lifted their request to withhold publication.
Oh, temporarily. I get it.
In his bid to justify this, the paper's public editor Arthur Brisbane put forward his explanation by saying: "As profoundly unpalatable as it is, I think the Times did the only thing it could do."
And exactly how does this square with the NY Slimes revealing the details of how W's administration tracked terrorists through their financial dealings? That story truly did not need to see the light of day, was far more deniable, hurt America far worse than this one ever will, and gave us nothing in return. Exactly what is it that Obean has done for you that makes you keep coming back for more?

Oh, I forgot you guys were trying to protect your "credibility" because you supported Obean during the presidential election. Carry on, wh0res. I enjoy watching you guys taking it in the backside while trying not to scream in the hope of nobody noticing.
