I don't know whether to put this in the Politics, WackyHumor, or FreudianAdmission category, but Editor & Publisher is giving some more time to freelance writer David Lindorff's quixotic quest:
NEW YORK "It's just as important a story after the election, and they've dropped it," says freelance writer David Lindorff, referring to the alleged bulge under President Bush's suit jacket during the first presidential debate late fall. Lindorff's take on how, and why, The New York Times killed a story on the controversy just before the November election gained wide attention this week after it was published in Extra!, a magazine produced by the media watchdog group Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting...
According to Lindorff's timetable, the Times postponed the Bulgegate story from the day it was initially slotted, the Tuesday before the election, until Thursday, five days before the election, when it was more likely to be deemed too late. "Five days before an election is enough time for a seasoned political machine to respond," he said...
I suppose there's a difference between something that might affect an election, and deliberately seeking to affect an election. Lindorff, and perhaps E&P, seem to favor the latter.
