Hillary's Finance Chief Indicted: AP (but not NY Times) By Bob Kohn I'm certain you saw this AP story pasted at the top of the Drudgereport yesterday (and today with a picture of a smiling Hillary Clinton): WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (AP) - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's former finance director has been indicted on charges of filing fictitious reports that misstated contributions for a Hollywood fund-raising gala for the senator, the Justice Department said Friday. Question: Why is this story not printed at all in Saturday's New York Times? Stop the presses! OK, the AP story doesn't have a timestamp and maybe it didn't make the Times's deadline. (But wouldn't the Justice Department have released the indictment during business hours on Friday?) Let's see if it makes the Sunday paper with a banner headline. Remember, this is about a New York senator and the most likely Democratic candidate in the 2008 presidential election. In that regard, notice carefully that in the AP story, the first few words of a straightforward, unbiased lead sentence are "Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's..." Let's see how the Times writes the lead tomorrow. I'll give them credit if they can write a straight, no-spin lead sentence and put it on the front-page with a straight, prominent headline. Stay tuned...
