The Los Angeles Times is likening unto gargage their readers, their reputation, their code of journalsitic ethics, and their country by trying to influence a Presisential election by withholding the Khalidid tape. What they are doing is worse than what Rather/Mapes did, as it is more blatant and more likely to effect the election.

Sarah Palin ripped the LAT and Obama last night:

“It must be nice for a candidate to have major news organizations looking after his best interests like that… Politicians would love to have a pet newspaper of their very own. In this case we have a newspaper willing to throw aside even the public’s right to know in order to protect a candidate that its own editorial board has endorsed. And, if there’s a Pulitzer Prize for excellence in kowtowing then the LA Times– You’re winning!”
