Scrubbing the News at the New York Times
3rd June 2011
Yesterday Drudge linked to the New York Times story announcing the appointment of Jill Abramson to succeed Bill Keller as the top dog at the Times. I read the story and was amused by Abramson’s expression of delight: “In my house growing up, The Times substituted for religion. If The Times said it, it was the absolute truth.”
No surprises here.
A funny thing happened on the way to shul, as we say in Yiddish. The Times has scrubbed the quote from the story.
Sadly, no surprises here, either.
Sometimes all the news that’s fit to print goes down the Memory Hole. C’est la vie.
