L.A. Times Covers Up for Davis

Columnist Jill Stewart accuses the L.A. Times of covering up accusations that Gray Davis abused his female staff:

Since at least 1997, the Times has been sitting on information that Gov. Gray Davis is an "office batterer" who has attacked female members of his staff, thrown objects at subservients, and launched into red-faced fits, screaming the f-word until staffers cower.
After my story ran, I waited for the Times to publish its story. It never did. When I spoke to a reporter involved, he said editors at the Times were against attacking a major political figure using anonymous sources.
Just what they did last week to Schwarzenegger.

Kaus points to a Bill Bradley story accusing the Times of leaking the groping story to Democratic activists before it was published. There is a web edition of the original story.

Brings a whole new light to the allegations against Arnold, doesn't it?
