Boston Globe burys White House related errors!

 

Which is the true news story here?

Today's Wall Street Journal front page states:

    "A 'Classified Photo Op Turns Into A Soaring Blunder for the White House
   Mission to Get Beauty Shots of Presidential Jet At Statue of Liberty Panics 9/11-Wary New York."

This headline is followed by a nice color picture of a Air Force One 747 and a fighter jet flying at low altitude. The article then goes on to talk about the Air Force admitting that the flight was a secret mission of which city officials had been made aware.

What about the Boston Globe?

The Boston Globe has a very different take on this story. On the Globe front page, there is a small lead that says,

    "A flyover by two jets sent frightened workers pouring out of buildings..."

The AP article is printed on page A7 and doesn't mention the fact that one of the planes is an Air Force One 747 until the 8th paragraph, 300th word. Talk about burying the lead.

The fact that it was a Presidential Air Force One buzzing Manhattan and scaring folks is THE STORY! Why hide it?

This is not a huge story so why protect the White House in such a heavy handed manner? What else are you hiding?

And the Globe (owned by the NY Times) wonders why its subscribers are  defecting to Internet based news sources.
