Hey, technically they DID print the story...
...just nowhere you could find it. Not the front page, not in the "More Headlines" section, not under "Washington", not under "National"...
The Sunday New York Times, January 11, 2004:
Report: Bush Planned Iraqi Invasion Before Sept. 11
Search for "O'Neill" and you find the story--twice. Once in "News" and once in "Washington".
But go to "Washington" and it isn't there. Nowhere. Not even in the extended headlines listing. 19 stories and it simply isn't there. Even though the story is dated today: Sunday, January 11, 2004.
So it must be in "News", right? That's what the search results said. Wrong--there is no "News" section. If you go to the O'Neill story from a search, then click back one link to "News"--it goes to the same story with a different URL--it's a link to this one Reuters article. There is no NY Times "News" section.
In other words, you CANNOT get this story on the NY Times online without either searching for it specifically in the online search, or going to Reuters and scrolling down seven sections--where it's the last entry.
As for the Bush administration's very good friends at A.P.--they also don't have the story on their front page. If you click on "More Headlines" or "National" you'll find it--23 stories down. That's after "Chinese Mourn Pop Star" and "Lion Attack Victim Recovers".
As for the A.P. story itself: four and a half paragraphs are given to O'Neill's charge, and eight and a half provide either the Administration's direct rebuttal, or back-story that attempts to undermine O'Neill.
The so-called liberal media.
