Seems as though the NYTimes at one point did plan running an article about GWB's debate suit bulge.
One week before Election Day, the Times (10/25/04) ran a hard-hitting and controversial exposé of the Al-Qaqaa ammunition dump—identified by U.N. inspectors before the war as containing 400 tons of special high-density explosives useful for aircraft bombings and as triggers for nuclear devices, but left unguarded and available to insurgents by U.S. forces after the invasion.
On Thursday, just three days after that first exposé, the paper was set to run a second, perhaps more explosive piece, exposing how George W. Bush had worn an electronic cueing device in his ear and probably cheated during the presidential debates.
How it went down. (http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2012)
(If in a hurry, scroll down the article and read "New York Times public editor Daniel Okrent posted a message on his website (12/21/04) confirming that his paper had, in fact, killed a story about the device under George W. Bush’s suit.")
A very interesting world we live in, that was one of the top 10 stories of the year killed in the major media. By what Neocons call the Liberal leftist rag.
