I have to say, I was wondering why Goldstone's retraction was published in the Washington Post and not in the Times.... YNet reports that the NYTimes had refused to publish Goldstone's letter of regret.
Ooh, thank you Professor-- I'll have to update it. It really would have been strange if the Times hadn't taken such an epic letter. No matter what their politics, no editor would have passed up such an historic opportunity.
It all goes back to the agenda of the media outlet. I guess the NYT just doesn't want to side with a positive story towards Israel.

ReplyDeleteLove the title but the Times definitely had some Goldstone coverage - I saw this article just this morning -
