Stories about Wednesday’s Congressional hearing on Libya were prominently displayed on the front pages of major newspapers throughout the United States on Thursday morning.

The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, for example, both led with the story, meaning that editors placed it in the primary news position on their front pages.

But The New York Times was not among them

Because the New York Times is part of the Obama Administration? Jay Carney in print?

Why is this so hard for some?

Because it never even happened. No, not the hearing, the attack.

The attack? You mean the peaceful protest against the youtube hate video?

Because there was no way to blame the problems in Libya on Republicans.

No, actually I mean all of it.

In order for any of it even to have occurred, that would mean that Obama and his entire administration are either bumbling morons, incompetent amatuers, liars, evil conspirators, and even traitors, or all of the above.

And we all know that just isn’t possible.

Martha,
you are barfing into the wind. The NYT is never going to cover this travesty accurately.They cannot. It is too devastating to Obama and could cause a major war with the Clintons. Lets pray for that war.

the only mention of the hearing on Libya came in a one-paragraph summary at the bottom, leading readers to a well-displayed story on Page A3.

Because this story was not as serious as hazing war criminals in Abu Graib prison which made the front page something like 46 times in 35 consecutive days. And, oh yeah, George Bush was President. My bad.

You would think the homosexuals at the NY Times would be outraged that a gay ambassador was raped, tortured and murdered.

“I have been in the ultra-high-tech Diplomatic Security Op Center in Virginia. It is a marvel of modern technology with some amazing capabilities. This center apparently was monitoring the six-hour attack in real time. The DS center ties in with similar centers at Main State, CIA, Pentagon, the White House, and elsewhere. What were they saying to each other? Nobody at the NSC, the Pentagon, or the White House contacted the President?”
