NYT Refuses to Print FBI Informant's Rebuttal to Bill Ayers' Lies

First they said it shouldn't be directed to the columns page, but the letters editor. When it was sent there, it was ignored as well.

Allowing, by design, Bill Ayers' lies to stand unchallenged in the paper of record retard.

Bob Owens runs it exclusively in Pajamas Media. A smoodge of it:

Billy goes on about how the Weather Underground came into existence because “peaceful protests had failed” and “after an accidental explosion killed three comrades.” The explosion of the townhouse in Greenwich Village was the result of a bomb factory which was preparing bombs containing roofing nails for use at a Fort Dix enlisted club. The inclusion of roofing nails can have but one purpose and that’s to injure or kill people. Prior to this event Bill’s wife, Bernardine Dorhn, placed a bomb of the same design at the Park Police Station in San Francisco and killed Officer McDonnell. Additionally, I was still inside the Weather Underground when the townhouse blew up and the commitment to sabotage and terrorism had already been established and the purpose was the overthrow of the United States government.

...

I must conclude by acknowledging that in one respect Bill is probably being absolutely truthful. When he says that “I never killed or injured anyone,” he is most likely being totally honest. Bill, like Charles Manson, never exposed himself to any kind of danger. He always gave orders and then left it to his then-girlfriend, Diane Oughton, and others to implement his plan. If you listen closely you can even hear the similarities in the arguments Manson and Billy use today to justify what they did: the 60s made me do it.

The NYT isn't about printing the news; it's about suppressing it, to create the illusion that the record is settled by censoring all challenges to the record it puts forward.
