I spent a good deal of time this morning searching the New York Times for coverage of Ron Suskind’s new book. After all, it still isn’t every day that we hear about a new impeachable offense coming out of this administration, though I have to agree we hear about them with depressing regularity. Nonetheless, Suskind’s charges are big even for this administration.
Well, I couldn’t find a mention. Nada. Not even the he said/she said coverage from in the Courant (it is actually an article from the Washington Post). Well, no one’s perfect and I could have missed it, so I went to the Times Reader, which I now have on my computer, and did a little search. The Times on the web, by the way, is updated during the day. Anyway, here’s what I found (click on the image for a larger view):
The Times Reader covers the last seven days, which is why it didn’t retrieve articles from the distant past. Suskind is not the National Enquirer. He’s won the Pulitzer Prize, and he’s uncovered stories that have, consistently, turned out to be “reality based”. If his story on Bush/Cheney’s criminality isn’t news, it’s hard to say what is.
By the way, out of an excess of caution, I assumed the search engine was case sensitive and typed in “Suskind”, with the same results.
