New York Times Pot Calls CBS Kettle 'Black'
The New York Times, long a mouthpiece for the Democratic National Committee is criticizing CBS White House correspondent Rita Braver for conducting an interview with Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney. Even though Braver disclosed that her huband, Bob Barnett negotiated Cheney's book deal, The New York Times dissed the reporter for a "conflict of interest."
In my book, "The Great Media War: A Battlefield Report", I devote an entire chapter, "Bias is a Family Affair" that connects the dots between the Old Media and Democrats. It's pure hypocrisy that The New York Times criticizes CBS considering the plethora of lines of intersection between the "newspaper of record" and the subjects it covers.
Let's begin with Todd Purdum, White House correspondent for The New York Times from 1994 to 1997, husband of former Clinton White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers. No conflict there!
