NY Times Buries Sen. Paul's Filibuster
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 03/07/2013 5:46:33 PM PST by chessplayer

Republican Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster on Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to rule out drone strikes against U.S. citizens, which ended early Thursday morning, was absent from the front page of Thursday's New York Times. The Times buried its coverage of Paul's striking "talking" filibuster, in which he held the floor for nearly 13 hours, ostensibly in opposition to Obama's choice of John Brennan for CIA director. Brennan was serving as a proxy for Paul's demand that Holder rule out drone strikes on American citizens or on U.S. soil.

“Did the term “Benghazi” ever appear in the NYT?”

Yes. When the printed the DNC talking point that Mitt Romney was shamefully politicizing it.

If a mouse farts in the desert, does anyone care ?? With the greatly reduced readership of the old grey harridan does this really matter.. Like a few old constipated liberals care even a little bit about a patriotic american attempting to draw attention to a marxists illegal activities... buy my bridge it is for sale.
