Reporting on Calls for Senator Durbin to Apologize
When Republican leaders last week took Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin (search) to task on the Senate floor and demanded an apology for those comments about Guantanamo Bay, The New York Times gave it three paragraphs of coverage — on Page 15.
And when Durbin issued a statement late Friday saying he "regrets" if his comments were misunderstood, the Times gave that development one paragraph at the end of a national round up on Page 10. So — with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and Arizona Republican John McCain calling for a complete apology over the weekend — where did the Times put that today? Nowhere.
Thx! :)
