The Times and Wen Ho Lee
The New York Times doesn’t normally bury the lead—unless it’s trying to cover its own tail. So I suppose it wasn’t too strange to see the so-called “Gray Lady” do what many in the media have called an “extraordinary” 1,600-word editors’ note on how it covered the case surrounding Wen Ho Lee.
The editors’ note was a response to critics who had charged the Times with overly aggressive and unbalanced coverage.
I’d categorize the Times response as a “mea sorta culpa.”
