À propos de cet audio
Four million people in nearly 200 countries read the New York Times. Of these, many are opinion leaders. Journalists everywhere read the paper to get a supposedly objective view of the news and to learn what the Times thinks is important. But they aren't getting that kind of view - despite the ads the Times runs proclaiming its attachment to rock-solid truth.
A Times former White House and investigative correspondent, Robert M. Smith, discloses how some stories make it to print, some do not, how the filters work, and how the paper may have suppressed the most important US political story of the day - Watergate.
Smith shows how the paper stepped into the ring and begun slugging it out with President Trump, instead of staying outside the ring and neutrally reporting what it saw. The book argues that the paper would have been far more effective in countering and exposing the president if it had remained true to its nearly 200-year-old tradition and remained neutral - that is, remained credible (as it so loudly maintains that it is).
