Looks like the NYT got their Democrat talking points a little late. After starting out with the truth about the Iraqi elections, they switched their tune. From Glenn Reynolds:
YESTERDAY, I noted the following paragraph in a New York Times story on the Iraqi elections:
But if the insurgents wanted to stop people in Baghdad from voting, they failed. If they wanted to cause chaos, they failed. The voters were completely defiant, and there was a feeling that the people of Baghdad, showing a new, positive attitude, had turned a corner.
Reader Chris Fountain also noticed that it was moving steadily downward in the story as the day went on. Today he emails:
Glenn: as predicted, the offending paragraph was missing from this
morning's hard copy. New lede: "Bombs Kill 35."Sigh.
Indeed. And as Ann Althouse noted, the headline has changed on the web, too. Sigh. They just can't help themselves.
