View Article  NYT's Hoyt defends the Gray Lady's lack of coverage of the Edwards Love Baby scandal
by Roland, the Gunslinger on Sun 10 Aug 2008 03:32 PM EDT


Some readers, like Bert A. Getz Jr. of Winnetka, Ill., were sure they already knew the answer: liberal bias.

I do not think liberal bias had anything to do with it. But I think The Times...was far too squeamish about tackling the story. The Times did not want to regurgitate the Enquirer’s reporting without verifying it...The Times did not try to verify it, beyond a few perfunctory efforts, which I think was wrong. Until the ABC report, only one mainstream news organization, McClatchy newspapers, seemed to be making headway with the story.

Not that it would have been easy. David Perel, the editor of the Enquirer, said, “This is a very hard story to prove, and I think that has frozen people in place.”

(Ah, would that such circumspect consideration been given similar scandals involving GOP politicians of late...Roland)
