NYT's Maggie Haberman Brags That the NYT Already Had the Information that Leland Keyser Was Pressured by Ford's Friends;
But Then Gets Quiet When Asked, "Why Didn't the NYT Report It, Then?"
Actually, Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino already broke this story in their book Justice on Trial, but the media is pretending that book doesn't exist and doesn't "count" for scoop purposes.
Only Liberal Reporting is Real News is the rule -- though that rule seems to have things exactly 100% backwards and wrong.
But even playing along with the media's increasingly fantastical version of alt-reality: It seems weird to brag about having a scoop which you decided to bury and suppress for purposes of book sales and partisan political advertising.
