NYT: We Pulled Stephen Miller Interview at WH's Request

Source: The Daily Beast

The New York Times pulled a recorded interview with top Trump aide Stephen Miller from its morning podcast after White House officials said they were “not at all comfortable” with the audio recording being broadcast online. On Tuesday’s episode of The Daily, journalist Julie Davis said she spoke with Miller, the architect of the Trump administration’s incendiary family-separation policy at the Mexico border, but did not air the recording of the interview at the White House’s request. Davis said she originally taped the conversation for a deep-dive article on family separations and did not “talk about any sort of alternative uses for the interview.” After White House officials protested, she said the Times elected not to use it and Davis discussed her conversation with Miller on the podcast instead.

(sponsored by Breitbart!), and the email saturation-level coverage (including the Comey revival in the last critical days), and the all the false equivalency and inability to call lies lies (and no ability to adequately address the tsunami of corruption, criminality, misogyny, racism, HYPOCRISY and PROJECTION that defines the Republican Party and its Dear Leader), and printing the LIE (again in the last days of the election) that the FBI found "no clear link to Russia"... and the snarkiness toward and unfair trashing of Democrats in previous elections (like the treatment of Gore vs. Bush)... and Judith Miller/weapons of mass destruction/cheerleading for the goddamn never-ending war... and oh yeah, their pivotal role in Whitewater(!)-- leading to all the destructive BS that followed. A LOT to answer for!

That way everything said between interviewer and interviewee will be able to be read in print and in context of the entire conversation.

I wonder why. There must be a good reason for that. I guess I need to read the article on this. At least they reported that they pulled the article. Some publications wouldn't do that.

Another poster explained. She said reporter told Miller or the WH that the conversation was taped just for reference for her to write an article; it was never given to be aired. So to then air it would damage the credibility of the paper and would make it less likely that others would speak w/them in the future.

If a reporter tells an interviewee that a conversation is only being taped as a reference for an article, and then goes and broadcasts that tape without explicit permission, pretty soon no one will talk to that reporter, essentially ending her effectiveness to do her job.

Same with the paper, or any media outlet, in general.
