Quote of the day

"The mainstream press was not aggressive enough after 9/11, was not aggressive enough in asking questions about a decision to go to war in Iraq, was not aggressive enough in asking the hard questions about the war on terror. I accept that for the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times."

A revealing if not altogether unsurprising admission from Dean Baquet, executive editor of the New York Times.
