NYT Defensively Declares: No 'Conspiracy' to Endorse Hillary Clinton
breitbart ^ | 12/31/13 | Tony Lee

Posted on 12/31/2013 9:26:16 AM PST by Nachum

On Monday, the editor of the New York Times Editorial page was compelled to write that the publication has not decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 yet.

His pronouncement came two days after the paper attempted to whitewash the Benghazi tragedy by printing a story that alleged that there was no al-Qaeda involvement in the attacks that killed four Americans (contradicting the paper's own reporting), murdered U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens had "little understanding" of the region, and that the terrorists were motivated by an anti-Muhammed YouTube video.

On a blog post on the paper's website, Andrew Rosenthal alleged that it is important to Republicans "that Al Qaeda orchestrated the attack" because they want to "tarnish Democratic candidates by making it seem as though" President Barack Obama "doesn’t take Al Qaeda seriously." They also want to "throw mud at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who they fear will run for president in 2016."

Pure International Socialist Up-Frontery by the NYT, as usual.

This from the same paper that did not report the Soviet genocide of it’s own people before WWII even though it had reporters on the scene.

The NY Times whitewashes Benghazi to clear the decks for Hillary
Flopping Aces ^ | 12-30-13 | DrJohn / FR Posted ny times whitewash

The NY Times has lost all of its credibility. All of it.

Not long ago they made the decision to endorse all of Barack Obama's lies and now has gone fully into the Hillary Clinton tank. David Kirkpatrick's article "A Deadly Mix in Benghazi" could be summarized thusly:

Kirkpatrick: "Mr. al Qaeda, were you involved in the Benghazi attack?" Al Qaeda: "No we were not." Kirkpatrick: "Who attacked the consulate?" Al Qaeda: "Hooligans" Kirkpatrick: "Why?" Al Qaeda: "It was that video." Kirkpatrick: "Thank you"

That's pretty much it. It's pathetic and a painfully obvious attempt to vindicate Hillary Clinton. It has been widely slammed by both Republicans and at least one Democrat- those who had access to sources to Kirkpatrick did not and chose to ignore.

Kirkpatrick writes: Months of investigation by The New York Times, centered on extensive interviews with Libyans in Benghazi who had direct knowledge of the attack there and its context, turned up no evidence that Al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault.

Then he goes on to say One of his allies, the leader of Benghazi’s most overtly anti-Western militia, Ansar al-Shariah, boasted a few months before the attack that his fighters could “flatten” the American Mission. Surveillance of the American compound appears to have been underway at least 12 hours before the assault started.and here's the money line:

Mr. Abu Khattala, who denies participating in the attack, Well, that's that. He just happened to be at the scene of the attack. Thing is, Ansar al-Shariah does have connections to Al Qaeda. --SNIP--

It boggles the mind that any intelligent voter would seriously consider hillary clinton as a potential POTUS having done precious little to elevate her nation the entire time she has had the opportunity to do so. Misused power and scandal are her only achievements.
