No ‘Glee’ for Bill Keller in Breaking Spitzer Story
Is anyone else not buying Bill Keller’s insistence that the NYT he’s not feeling “unbridled glee” about nailing Eliot Spitzer’s “personal tragedy?” Though he maintains that he feels “there is a lot of satisfaction in reporting it,” it’s no secret he’s more than a little excited that he gets to rub the paper’s reporting in the faces of critics who see the Times as a liberal broadsheet. And while we won’t snub the Times reporters’ hard work in identifying Spitzer as Client 9, let’s not forget it was actually the New York Sun, with a March 7 article, that identified the Emperors Club scandal and the involvement of the U.S. District Attorney’s office, so maybe that’s why the excitement is not “unbridled.”
