JOURNALISM: NYTimes Fails to Disclose Clinton Paid for Interviews About Administration.

In a five year span, the William J Clinton Foundation gave five grants totaling $851,250 to the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. One year in particular, 2007, the Clinton gift was specifically marked: “Oral history project of Clinton presidency.”

Well, today the New York Times has a front page feature on the newly relesaed oral history project about the Clinton presidency. The one the Clintons helped pay for. But no where in the 2,600 word piece do Times writers Amy Chozick (who is on the Clinton beat) and Peter Baker (longtime White House reporter) disclose the obvious conflict of interest.

It would only be a conflict of interest if the money came from Republicans.
