It is an interesting situation that is confronting The LA Times at this crucial point in the last few days prior to the election. It is the ambition and aim of every newspaper no matter where, to come up with the scoop that grabs the headlines and beats the opposition to the punch. The mystery surrounding the witholding of a videotape of a meeting that was attended by Barack Obama fascinates me.We know that parts of the transcript have been reported in the media and we also know of the anti semetic statements that were made by Khalidi. It is puzzling that Mr Obama did not leave this meeting , particularly when we learn of the particularly divisive content that is coming to light. One suspects that there is something even more revealing in the video content of this tape that for their own political reasons, The LA Times refuses to offer up this item for public inspection.
The public needs to know the content of this material because it may have important information that needs to be collated in the voters' mind before they make one of the most critical decisions in their lifetime.
