Los Angeles Times: McCain camp accuses us of suppressing Obama/Khalidi tape
Posted Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 9:20 pm
An unnamed Los Angeles Times staff reporter offers "McCain campaign accuses L.A. Times of 'suppressing' Obama video" (link):
One of the ways to get the video is to offer money for "gray" copies; this offer of $25,000 (or perhaps more) may or may not be valid, but if it's a really good tape I'm sure even more than that could be scraped together.
John McCain's presidential campaign Tuesday accused the Los Angeles Times of "intentionally suppressing" a videotape it obtained of a 2003 banquet where then-state Sen. Barack Obama spoke of his friendship with Rashid Khalidi, a leading Palestinian scholar and activist...Right is wrong, up is down, suppressing things is bring them to light, etc.
"The Los Angeles Times did not publish the videotape because it was provided to us by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not release it," said the newspaper's editor, Russ Stanton. "The Times keeps its promises to sources."
Jamie Gold, the newspaper's readers' representative, said in a statement: "More than six months ago the Los Angeles Times published a detailed account of the events shown on the videotape. The Times is not suppressing anything. Just the opposite -- the L.A. Times brought the matter to light."
One of the ways to get the video is to offer money for "gray" copies; this offer of $25,000 (or perhaps more) may or may not be valid, but if it's a really good tape I'm sure even more than that could be scraped together.
