Kramer: NYT ignored Lott remarks early on, but others didn’t

Online Journalism Review
Staci Kramer says the San Francisco Chronicle already was running letters about Trent Lott’s birthday party remarks on the day Howard Kurtz complained that “most major newspapers hadn’t done squat” on the politico’s crack. The New York Times was “a tad too late to this tea party,” writes Kramer, but “it also doesn’t mean the story was being ignored by most of the media. …It’s just that it wasn’t picked up first by the outlets some people use as a measure.”
