As a guess, someone lied to you ... Heading into the 2004 elections many major news organizations were doing anything in their power to make George W. Bush look bad; and CBS took it to an extreme level when Dan Rather accepted fabricated documents to slander George W. Bush, and wouldn't retract the story even after the documents were proven to be fraudulent. In the wake of the Dan Rather scandal (pretty much) every major news organization started actually checking facts and ensuring their story was correct before running it. It is extremely likely that any delay from the New York Times was from fact checking rather than from any efforts from the President. |
Yea but as my point still stands... this happened on both sides as well. It's just we are going to remember the ones that came on the winner's side more than that of the loser. Same how it happened this past election. The issue is the media needs to stop getting so involved in it personally (or at least the loudest ones). Or hit the root of the issue and stop having the ignorant people listen to without questioning it or as Green Day dubbed "American Idiots".
