TOM MAGUIRE has suggestions regarding The New York Times:
The Times recently ran a very positive review of Joseph Wilson’s book, “The Politics of Truth”.
Since then, they have devoted just a few paragraphs to the follow-up on Wilson’s credibility, buried in a larger story; shouldn’t we expect more? Surely the question of how both sides approached the debate on our use of intelligence is newsworthy.
For example, missing from the Times rowback in the James Risen piece is any mention of the book review or the two Nick Kristof columns or the NY Times op-ed that launched Mr. Wilson’s balloon. (Subsequent sourcing info in the WaPo.)
For a sense of how the media storm built, let’s re-print the lead from the second Kristof column.
