Set forth below is a copy of an email that I sent to the Public Editor of the New York Times. I doubt that there will be a response, but if there is, I will post it.

Subject: NYTimes and the Edwards Affair
Dear Public Editor:
Why did the New York Times suppress the Edwards story? A few months ago, the paper smeared John McCain with unsourced allegations of an improper personal relationship but published nothing about the well-documented Edwards story until today. It appears that "all the news that is fit to print" now comes from alternative media such as the National Enquirer, while blatantly biased editorial opinion now dominates the front page of your paper.
Last month the Times reported that " its second-quarter earnings fell 82 percent from the year-ago quarter boosted by a one-time gain. Meanwhile, print advertising revenue continued to shrink." It is good to know that the market works.
Very truly yours,
Bert L. Slonim
