This ties in with the WP story I just posted. They didn't spin the report like the NYT did. The NYT framed the lead story to fit their editorial. QUICK! BEFORE THEY'RE GONE! Take a look at today's front-page images from the NYT and WaPo. The WaPo has a five-column headline that reads: "Al Qaeda Scaled Back 10-Plane Plot". In contrast, the NYT has a four-column headline that reads: "Panel Finds No Iraq-Qaeda Tie; Describes A Wider Plot for 9/11". There no question that politics played a big role in all of this. After all, you only have to look as far as the editorial page to see what the editors were thinking. For the NYT, the Commission's report is conclusive evidence that Bush lied. Anticipating the "Bush lied" chorus, the editors of the WaPo write that "The accusation is nearly as irresponsible as the Bush administration's rhetoric has been." From where I stand, the clearest thing of all is that editorial page politics spill over onto page one and that those responsible for this spillage are either unaware of it or unable to admit it. oxblog.blogspot.com
