The New York Times Just Memory-Holed This Devastating Obama Admission

"Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino."

A story published by the New York Times late Thursday night caused some major media waves. The story, which was written by reporters Peter Baker and Gardiner Harris, included a remarkable admission by Obama about his response to the recent terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.

By Friday morning, however, the entire passage containing Obama’s admission had been erased from the story without any explanation from the New York Times. Here’s the passage that was included in the story when it was published Thursday night, courtesy of CNN’s Brian Stelter:

In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments. Republicans were telling Americans that he is not doing anything when he is doing a lot, he said.

The version of the New York Times story that was published early Thursday evening indicated that Obama knew he was out of touch with the country on terrorism, and he thought that was due to not watching enough television. Obama critics immediately pounced on the stunning admission from the president, expressing shock that he would claim that a lack of TV time was the real reason for him not understanding Americans’ anxiety about terrorism.

As of Friday morning, however, the passage containing Obama’s admission was gone. Newsdiffs.org, a web site which captures changes made to online news stories, indicates that the major revision to the NYT story happened late on Thursday night, several hours after the story was published (text with a red background and strike-through is text that was eliminated from the story; text with a green background is text that was added to the story since its last revision):

 

The unexplained deletion of that major passage wasn’t the only significant change made to the story since it was first published. New York Times editors also changed the story’s headline four separate times, according to Newsdiffs.org. Each headline revision either put Obama in a better light or put the GOP in a worse one.

The original headline when the story was first published was “Obama Visiting National Counterterrorism Center.” Less than two hours later, the headline was “Obama, at Counterterrorism Center, Offers Assurances On Safety.” Then the headline was changed to “Frustrated by Republican Critics, Obama Defends Muted Response to Attacks.” Two hours later, the headline was once again revised to “Under Fire From G.O.P., Obama Defends Response to Terror Attacks.” The most recent headline revision, which accompanied the deletion of the passage where Obama admitted he didn’t understand the American public’s anxiety about terrorism, now reads, “Assailed by G.O.P., Obama Defends His Response To Terror Attacks.”

 

 

Baker and Gardiner, the two reporters who authored the NYT story, have yet to explain why Obama’s admission about being out of touch with the public on terrorism was deleted from their story.

UPDATE: The New York Times claimed in a statement late Friday morning that its deletion of the Obama passage was not “unusual” and that it was merely “trimmed for space in the print paper”:

The problem with this explanation is that it doesn’t make any sense when you review the first major online revision, which Newsdiffs.org archived at 10:21 p.m. EST. In that version, only one substantive revision was made: the paragraph about Obama not watching enough cable TV was removed and replaced with two paragraphs about Obama’s plan to combat ISIS.

The section that was removed contained 66 words. The section that was added in its place contained 116 words. If the New York Times was indeed “trimming for space” in that particular revision, it will need to explain why its revision to that section added 50 words.

The story within the story -- the counter-terrorism center that Obama visited -- are a product of the CIA's Phoenix Program from Vietnam.  Administrative detention laws that strip due process and a program that detains and murders dissidents who are organizing politically, understanding that one must organize politically before one can organize resistance in any other way.  This is modern warfare and it's being conducted on all of us at home and abroad.  Counter-terrorism is terrorism -- San Bernardino, et al, are you listening?

The Multi-Million Pricetag of the Obama Family Vacations

You think your holiday plane ticket was expensive?

As the Obama family heads off on their annual Christmas vacation to Hawaii, critics are taking aim, due to the financial burden that flying Air Force One puts on American taxpayers.

The cost of operating the presidential plane is a staggering $206,337 per hour, according to the watchdog site Judicial Watch, which describes itself as a “conservative, non-partisan educational foundation” that “promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics, and the law.”

Multiply that by the 18 hours that it takes to fly from Washington, D.C. to Honolulu and you’re talking about a $3.7 million bill for operating the flight alone.

  I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.

because they're the ones they create the fear and anxiety

 

as if either attack actually poses a practical threat to averageman in a way that he needs to be visibily fearful or anxious on the street

In reality, all this asshat is doing is allowing other counties to loan health inspectors to San Berdoo since most of ours got killed.  That's all this is.

To me, this is a legitimate function of government.  Enforcing health and safety law.  So, as much as this just sends a god damned fucked up force up my spine...he's, unfortunately correct in this.  Bring in a few spare health inspectors from other counties to check the shit out for the next several months until the useless county of San Bernardino Commissioners get their shit together (like that's ever happened).

There are certain legitimate functions of government.  Ensuring weight and measures, maintaining public health and safety, regulating the roadways...and others.  And we need to commend them on doing their proper role while maintaining the attack on their independent broadening of their powers.

This is TRUE. No-one, literally no-one, except those geting "attacked" are worried about terrorism. The few "attacks" in which real people get killed, yes, thise people are terrified, but no-one else is. Here's the thing: First, Obama spends a LOT of time, with sophisticated polling professionals, gauging the public reaction to every attack. He asks the question, "Are people frightened enough yet?" When the response from his experts is "No", then he says, "Stage another attack!"

So by saying "I don't wacth enough television to know how peple feel", the lie is several stages deep.

1.Obama lies about his TV time. He watches lots of TV:

2. Obama lies about not knowing how people feel about terrorism. He knows Exactly how people feel, and they aren't scared enough yet.

3. The NYT prints the lies.

4. Then the NYT removes the lies, and replaces them with more lies.

5. Then the NYT lies about the lies.

If America ever returns to a merit-based system, the landscape will change dramatically.

 

Take those boxes off college appications and same for job apps and scholarship applications; make the applications anonymous and based on grades, acheivement, national test scores and perhaps a written essay [for whatever that's worth].

Make scholarships based either on academic merit or economic disadvantage [or both] instead of what box you check off.

 

Otherwise, the country simply gets moar Gruberized and dumb-downed.

Some say it takes 1000 years for a race to civilize, and our black benefactors are only 1200 years away from being capable of competing and living productively in a modern, first world society - but I say, as I look around at a Black middle class supported by real, productive affirmative action jobs and a class of youths whose sartorial excellence is only exceeded by their peaceful decorum - to these reprobates I say, "You're clearly a bigot."

Ignatius Counter-terrorism is terrorism

 

States argue that in the face of the exceptional threat of terrorism it is necessary to breach fundamental human rights and sometimes to undertake preemptive military action. History, however, demonstrates that counter terrorism frequently does far more harm than the violence it purportedly addresses.

The contemporary counter terrorism experience reflects a long and intimate relationship between counter terrorism and state crime.

The corrolary might be the 'war on drugs' where one must create a crime (say, an undercover purchase) in order to entrap a dealer.  If that dealer is himself an addict then the undercover cop becomes the supplier and would himself carry narcotics for the duration in hopes that this informant will help to uncover another, higher level in its distribution.  Since he is now a participant in the crime he becomes aware (if he wasn't already) of the incredible cash flows and profitability of the crime opening the door for corruption.  A second aspect is that the political structure (police) now have a hammer (threat of arrest) over certain members of the targeted community.  Hence, vice squads end up taking significant control of the drug trade and via corruption (payoffs) simply redirects the profits to those holding institutional control (politicians and bureaucrats).

These are not my original thoughts, but parrot the understanding I have having read the work of such experts as Douglas Valentine.

P.S.  not my downvote, btw.  thanks for the link.

The reason that Obama wasn't moved by the attacks was for the same reason that  Bush II wasn't moved by the first news of the 9/11 attack.    Both knew they were all false flags, and neither is a very good actor -- although Obama seems to be able to read the teleprompter pretty well.

Anyone aware of the recent changes at ZH should immediately take a screenshot of this comment before it is disappeared down the ZH memory hole!!!!

This may possibly be the last posting you will see from me as my avatar may be the next casualty….

 

Having dispensed with the preliminaries, I would like to call your attention to a comment I made on the post of 12/16/15 Wednesday “something-strange-taking-place-middle-atlantic-ocean#comment-6932847, in which I wrote:

 

This is the result of pure unmitigated greed on the part of the oil companies, parking their tankers offshore waiting out the price at the pump. This very thing was rumoured to be happening during the 1973 oil embargo. They managed to hide it back then but we have more effective means of tracking their shenanigans with the modern internet.

 

This comment posted about 10 comments down.

While I was looking at changing the word “shenanigans” to “(s)henanigans” to properly reflect gender neutrality, whoooooosh!!! it suddenly vanished into thin air@@@@@@

 

WHY!?!

 

Perhaps there is a clue to be garnered here regarding the new ownership of ZH? <Look to those who cannot be criticised to recognise who are the true rulers (owners), as they say.>

Yes, I know this is a moss-backed conspiracy theory, the old tankers-parked-offshore bit, hardly worthy of interest anymore and in fact, later repeated in sarcastic comments in that very same thread, but could it be indicative of something deeper? An irritable hair-trigger response say to a comment a bit too ‘truthy’ for the tastes of the PTBs at ZH?

Of course it is spun as a supply glut story. Of course, the typical ZHer is prone to just such an interpretation. Why the haste to “put it out there” if there’s nothing more to it?

Did you consider the possibility of a computer malfunction?

Your comment looks pretty ordinary and innocent to me.

Have you noticed how much double/triple posts happen around here by accident? Or how about those comments that go off the edge of the page when the responses go very deep? 

I have seen stuff that was too blatantly racist disappeared, but that is really about it. I can't say I approve of doing that mind you, but ZH is hosted in a country that gets on them about that (Sweden, I think, they have laws against hate speech). They have to bend or they lose the ability to host the blog there. And honestly, it is their blog and I am glad they let me play in their yard. I can follow the rules at their house.

See if it happens again. Unless you spout off about all the Muzzzies or Jooos or Nihgeers you want to kill, you should be good.

Reminds of how many African American leaders scream racism and feel overwhelming grief at the loss of life, and the senseless, clearly race motivated , intent when ever an African American is killed by a non- African American. There is sadness, there is grief, there are many, many media outlets insuring the tradgedy is front page news. Some will preach, some will protest, all will seek monetary resolutions to the ongoing failure of race relations.

All the while hundreds if not thousands of African American young men are killed yearly, mostly by other African Americans and these same caring leaders do not give a flying fucking shit.

 

Sorta like when a Sunni racist, bigot, murdering Islamasist kills a group of Shia pilgrims. Muslims do not give a flying fucking shit. 

But let a non-Muslim acciddently kill a Muslim and by Allah a shit load infindles gotta die.

This is definition of a "non-story."

Hlee Jeebus. I just re-remembered that I was a newspaper publisher in a former life.

We would print weekly, and once the paper was off the press, that was it. No revisions. If people didn't like it, they could write letters to the editor, or, in extreme cases, accost me on the street (it happened more than once) or throw stuff at our building.

And then, since I was a cocky, enterprising muthafucka, I would make fun of the letter-writers.

Disagree on "non-story."

Why change it? If it is inaccurate, you retract it and let folks know you are doing so AND what the correct information is. 

"FreeNewEnergy says he has solved the world's energy crisis!" Not true? Oops.

"On December xx, we stated inaccurately, that FreeNewEnergy said he had solved the world's energy crisis. He actually said he 'hopes to solve the world's energy crisis.' We regret the misprint and and any inconvenience that has resulted from it. 

That we live in a world where these changes are happening without taking note of it IS the story. Someone has taken the trouble to document it for us otherwise we would not know.

The net makes this sleaze possible. Once in print, the commitment is there. In digital world, if they don't have to document this change, how often are they doing this and we do not know about it? Used to be the truth and getting it right was what was important.
