DNI Memo Didn't Make the Cut for the NYT Print Edtion

Ed Morrissey Hot Air again [my original post here].

Their exposé of a redacted memo from DNI Dennis Blair has exploded on line, but the Times didn’t think it was worthy of any column space in the print edition ...

[Times’ deputy Washington bureau chief] Stevenson argued that the exclusion from the print edition did not *** reflect any editorial bias***. The article didn’t get filed until 8:30 pm, after the editors had already decided on the print edition. The Times did promote the piece on line, and its partners at MS-NBC and elsewhere gave it additional visibility. They certainly didn’t “bury” the story in the sense of keeping information from the public. Stevenson also says that they consider the on-line and print editions a seamless presentation of the Times.

Tell it to the Marines!
