The NYT reporter skewed his report because the sample of opinions used for the report is skewed.

One can assume that anybody that “knows both men” will also “downplay” the “closeness” of their connections. I mean, come on! The NYT couldn’t be more solicitous, even if it was reporting on the Chicago Mob in the thirties with a gun held to its editor’s head. In this case, though, they’re only investigating Obama.

BTW: They’ve done the same thing with Saddam Hussein’s ties to Islamic terrorists in their pages for the past 6 six years. They’ll go out and “interview” a couple of Columbia professors like Juan Cole and Edward Said and then conclude, based on these interviews, that Saddam had “no ties to terror.”

Signs are the NYT is only playing at journalism these days.
