New York Times finally comes out of the closet – admits to killing big Obama/Acorn story before election day

Maureen Dowd is not involved in this incident. There is no plagiarizing involved, just more liberal media hypocrisy and censorship. As if anyone with a brain, or at least anyone who isn’t some far left wing loon knew all along. The, the New York Times has gone on record to admit that they killed a politically sensitive news story involving corruption allegations that might have made the Obama campaign look bad. that just before last Election Day, regarding Obama and ACORN. According to the American Spectator, this admission, which came seven months after NYT staff reporter Stephanie Strom’s reporting about possibly illegal coordination between the Obama campaign and ACORN last year, took the form of a snarky column from Clark Hoyt, the Old Gray Lady’s “public editor.” Hoyt used the word “nonsense” to describe the allegations of impropriety leveled against ACORN and the Obama campaign.

Hoyt writes in the Sunday New York Times

On March 17, a Republican lawyer, quoting a confidential source for a Times reporter, testified to Congress that the newspaper killed a story last fall because it would have been “a game-changer” in the presidential election.

The charge, amplified by Bill O’Reilly on Fox News in April and reverberating around the conservative blogosphere, is about the most damning allegation that can be made against a news organization. If true, it would mean that Times editors, whose job is to report the facts without fear or favor, were so lacking in integrity that they withheld an important story in order to influence the election.

I have spent several weeks looking into this issue – interviewing and e-mailing those involved, reading transcripts, looking at campaign finance records and conferring with legal experts. In a nutshell, I think the charge is nonsense.

In his very first sentence Hoyt makes a careless mistake: it was March 19, not March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day), that the “Republican lawyer,” Heather Heidelbaugh, testified before the House Judiciary Committee.
