Last Thursday I discussed a dramatic example of the LA Times hiding news that made GWB look good - specifically, the story headlined in publications such as USA Today as, "N. KOREA AGREES IN PRINCIPLE TO TAKE INITIAL STEPS TO DISMANTLE NUKE PROGRAM" - a story which didn't even appear on the front page of the LA Times.
Today the story about the deal with North Korea on nuclear disarmament has gotten so big that even the LA Times has it as a major page one story, in its print version.
So let's check the LA Times web site to see if they're also giving the story its due prominence on the web.
And let's also check, for comparison, the web sites of the NY Times and the Washington Post. Here's a screen shot from the NY Times web site:
The NY Times web site has the story featured in its top, most prominent spot.
Same with the Washington Post web site:
How about the LA Times?
The LA Times web site buried the story -- again!
In this time, when terrorists are trying to acquire nukes in order to use them on America, the potential importance of this story is hard to overestimate. Yet - in keeping with its usual policy of hiding good news that reflects well on GWB - the LA Times buries it on its web site.
