The Mainstream Media Killed Tirhas Habtegiris

It should be obvious that, if the editors of The New York Times had wanted, they could have turned the case of Tirhas Habtegiris into a “media circus.” If they had, one of us reactionaries would have coughed up the money. (We had numerous people offering to take care of Terri Schindler Schiavo.)

We already know that The New York Times sat on the NSA wiretapping story until it was politically appropriate. Sitting on the Habtegiris story had lots of political advantages …

Hmmmmm… They have had an incentive to look for stories like this for the past nine months. I guess this means similar incidents occur every blue moon or so …
