Breaking – LA Times Protecting Obama, Hiding Rashid Khalidi Video
Is the LA Time protecting Obama by hiding video from the Rashid Khalidi farewell dinner? Fox News thinks so:
There is even a petition for you to sign requesting the release from the LA Times. The LA Times had this to say yesterday:
“The Los Angeles Times did not publish the videotape because it was provided to us by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not release it,” said the newspaper’s editor, Russ Stanton. “The Times keeps its promises to sources.”
Jamie Gold, the newspaper’s readers’ representative, said in a statement: “More than six months ago the Los Angeles Times published a detailed account of the events shown on the videotape. The Times is not suppressing anything. Just the opposite — the L.A. Times brought the matter to light.”
The original article said that Obama’s friendships with Palestinian Americans in Chicago and his presence at Palestinian community events had led some to think he was sympathetic to the Palestinian viewpoint on Middle East politics. Obama publicly expresses a pro-Israel viewpoint that pleases many Jewish leaders.
Stay tuned on this one.
