Referring to New York Times chief political correspondent Adam Nagourney
*** begin quote ***
Later that afternoon, Nagourney got permission from Times editors to e-mail Sargent a response to the Obama memo. But the episode still grates. “I’ve never had an experience like this, with this campaign or others,” Nagourney tells me. “I thought they crossed the line. If you have a problem with a story I write, call me first. I’m a big boy. I can handle it. But they never called. They attacked me like I’m a political opponent.”
*** end quote ***
The implication being that if one is not a “political opponent”, one is a “political ally”?
Gee, I thought reporters were supposed to at least pretent to be impartial.
I have no dog in this fight. I don’t care for EITHER candidate, but this is “humorous” at best!
Maybe that’s why the NYT is on the rocks financially?
