It seems to me that they are just admitting what we all knew.
Pity the poor blogs who snag these bastardized “news” stories
and then try to re-write them in hope of getting hits.
They peddle twice-warmed-over bullshit.
The New York Times Admits That Virtually Every Major News Organization Allows The News To Be Censored By Government Officials
No, the New York Times and every other major news organization willfully and enthusiastically censors the news ONLY when a Marxist/Communist/Socialist POS Demonrat administration has infested the White House.
Does anyone believe Bill Eee-go-reilly did NOT get his questions approved before hand?
“For example, almost every major news organization in the country has agreed to submit virtually all quotes from anyone involved in the Obama campaign or the Romney campaign to gatekeepers for “quote approval” before they will be published. If the gatekeeper in the Obama campaign does not want a certain quote to get out, the American people will not see it, and the same thing applies to the Romney campaign. “
It is very frightening that the MSM would protect the Obama Campaign from ill-advised quotes or other information that might put a bad light on the president.
We must get our media to cease granting such editorial control to Democrat campaigns and Democratic presidents.
We need to split them up.
Think carefully about what’s happening though. People who will only use material from these censored sources (folks like Rush Limbaugh and most “conservative” pundits) are automatically self-censoring as well, because the only people who CAN give them the unfiltered stuff are people who don’t care to be “government approved”.
Blogs are where you can get new information that’s not censored. Unfortunately, because anybody can have a blog there is little way for people to know who is trustworthy and who not. That means if you run a blog and want to be considered credible you have to document everything. Which is good, but it also bogs down the issues in minutiae. If the reporters at NYT, for instance, had to show copies of every document that supports what they say, give the names and copies of all communications with the sources they rely on, etc.... who would ever talk to them, and who would ever slog through their reports?
And yet that’s what blog authors have to do. It’s almost a no-win situation because if you document everything it’s so tedious you lose your readers, and if you don’t document everything you’re not credible.
That’s where we’re at though. It’s not going to change anytime soon either.
So, which White House or Obama campaign gatekeeper signed off on “You Didn’t Build That” once it finally made it to mainstream outlets?
The reporter admitted what we knew about the NY Times. He cannot speak for others.The Times is a left wing rag. Consider the source.
Let me guess how this works.

Hell can’t be made too hot for this fifth-column traitorous press.

I haven’t trusted the press for a long time and that includes fox. I do not bother with it. These folks are completely out of touch with what is happening in this country ad throughout the world. They seem like rabid clueless dogs. The only thing they are good for is an argument based on hate and ignorance.
That is why I never even bother to watch any MSM. And you know they are allowed to make all kinds of mistakes and miss quotes against the Tea Party and Conservatives.
And these are the presstitutes that will get to moderate the presidential debates.
A rigged debate is worse than a rigged gameshow.
This is an Orwellian Nightmare.
The MSM are card carrying members of the RINO/DINO club. That is why when they want to report what Conservatives think, they ask John McCain.
Got a feeling we’ll need to refer to this article in the future...Are there cracks appearing in the wall?
” . . . except for the internet.”
Kinda reminds me, though, of the times when threads are pulled on various conservative sites.
Some wealthy conservative should buy them up, close them down and open modern conservative news services
