That Liberal Anti-Bush Media, Not

Via Bob Harris, a report from FAIR, The Emperor's New Hump, detailing how the New York Times squashed the story of that weird bulge in Bush's jacket (reported on back in October). How the hell did Bush and his puppeteers just get away with that, scot free? It boggles the mind.

several sources, including a journalist at the Times, have told Extra! that the paper put a good deal of effort into this important story about presidential competence and integrity; they claim that a story was written, edited and scheduled to run on several different days, before senior editors finally axed it at the last minute on Wednesday evening, October 27. A Times journalist, who said that Times staffers were "pretty upset" about the killing of the story, claims the senior editors felt Thursday was "too close" to the election to run such a piece.
