Ace posted an update to that -- In an update, he's reminded that when the NYT refused to cover Chas Freeman's flame-out as National Intelligence Council chair (due to anti-Israel animus and other such things), the NYT similarly claimed Freeman wasn't a high-enough ranking (would-be) official for it to spare its precious journalistic resources for. The National Intelligence Council chairman. Kinda sounds important. Thanks to ArthurK. ace.mu.nu and from the comments 3 Wow, inflation is a bitch. Having a $30B budget and the mandate to regulate 60% of our GNP doesn't make you important enough for the Times to acknowledge your existence.

After all, they have to get a majority of supporting votes to throw around such volumes of tax payer funds.

What an absolute crock... Posted by: J.J. Sefton at September 10, 2009 01:40 PM (9Cooa) 25 Another is that despite being a so-called "czar," Mr. Jones was not a high-ranking official. My BS meter needle is about to bust through the scale! Give me a break! If a low level staffer who's main function was to bring the coffee and donuts to George Bush's office had signed a petition sponsered by an Aryan Nation organization, it would have been front page news with multiple feature stories, appearing over a number of weeks on the front page above the fold.
