Now we know why the NYT got it so wrong with its Benghazi story.
On 24 January, NYT executive editor Jill Abramson admitted the self-professed "most transparent" administration in history is in reality the most secretive White House in history.
That goes a long way in explaining why the incredulous NYT story on Benghazi mirrored the Administration mythology that a video protest inspired the attack while al Qaeda had no influence over the murderers.
What the NYT is realizing is that there is no way to independently verify facts in Washington DC as almost all the “important” information comes from folks vetted by the White House.
The bottom line is that there are no significant independent sources in this administration. You repeat the White House line, take it or leave it.
I guess reality sucks sometimes on Eighth Avenue.
