FW: [IP] LA Times on NYT spying story

It is times like this I wish I could fire the New York Times, and then realize I don't have any better options.

This could have tipped the balance in the last election.

Large news organizations hold their own interests and judgement above yours.

If only there were an organization that lived up to the Fox News "mascot" of we report you decide.

Very good behind the scenes reporting by the LA Times on NYT's internal debate about the timing of their spying story.

Turns out, the NYT did, indeed, have the story in time to run before last year's election and didn't.
