Found this interesting piece on Andrew Sullivan today. It seems that Howell Raines freely confesses to his friends what he's up to with the New York Times; now, if only he would be as honest with his readers:

THAT BAD TIMES LINK: Funny how that page I linked to on the New York Times forum on Maureen Dowd mysteriously disappeared shortly after I put it up. But I think it's reappeared now here. I've no idea why. It doesn't look like my mistake. Anyway, in case it gets lost again, here's the passage I was referring to:

wharrison2 - 06:12pm Sep 27, 2002 EST (# 30450 of 30463) kate_nyt 9/27/02 5:48pm Kate I, for one, don't hate the Times but do not have a lot of respect for Howell as an editor of the "news" sections of the paper. I have a friend here in town, Phil Clapp, who runs the leftwing National Environmental Trust. He's socially quite friendly with both Howell and Sulzberger, Jr. He told me straight from his own lips that both of them confirmed to him at a luncheon that under Howell's leadership they intended to use the news sections to attack the Bush administration. Howell didn't see any problem with this as part of deciding what's "news" is editorial judgments on what pieces to run and how to couch them. Now that's just the plain unvarnished truth whether The American Prospect wants to admit it or not. The Washington Times is an unvarnished paper of the right that doesn't mince words in advertising its partisanship. Almost all of the British and European press is run that way too. I see nothing wrong with the Times representing liberal thinking in this country as well but just be honest enough about it to admit it.

Now why would anyone remove that from the Times' site?
