The Times ran the story when it did to knock the successful Iraqi elections off the front page. Heck, most of the MSM has completely ignored the Iraqi elections for the most part. This gave them cover to ignore it.
What arrogant bastards they are, this statement right here is about the clearest yet on how the MSM sees itself in the role of policy makers in this country.
...to knock the Iraq election off the front page. You are right on. I haven't heard squat, about what should have been , a BIG story.....
