"All the news that we chose to print"

Mediabloodhound notes that yesterday's New York Times buried the story of Chris Dodd's courageous role in heading off the bad FISA bill in the Senate on page A.29. Bad enough, but today, the Times editorializes on the bill with an editorial entitled "Bad Bill now, Bad Bill later." Despite agreeing with those of us who want to see this bill killed, somehow the Times manages to avoid Chris Dodd's role almost completely. The only mention of Dodd at all is in a sentence that reads as follows:

A few Democratic senators, including Pat Leahy, Russ Feingold and Christopher Dodd, opposed Mr. Reid, who tried to get around them by cutting deals with Republicans but failed.

With newspapers like this, it's no wonder many people still believe that Iraq planned 9/11.
