How is the 47th Freest press in the world doing these days? Fair-to-middling, as usual! This is the state of affairs according to the New York Times anyway, which has kindly informed its readers that they basically can’t trust any of the quotes contained within its pages, especially if these quotes come from persons associated with either the Obama Administration or the Romney campaign. See, allowing officials, aides, surrogates, and strategists to review and redact their quotes as a precondition of an interview has become the "default position." Everyone is doing it, so the courageous journalists of the New York Times have to, or it won't get interviews! And if they don't get interviews, then they won't get meaningless and sanitized quotes, see? USA! USA! USA!

Who knew that defunding investigative journalism might lead to less investigative journalism?
"News gathering is expensive, that's why we don't do it" - almost every newsroom in the country.
