Dois pesos e duas medidas

Agora que já quase é uma certeza que a mais recente revelação de informação "sensível" pelo Wikileaks se traduz numa bolha cheia de nada (ao contrário do que ontem me parecia provável), são ainda mais escandalosos os double standards do New York Times. Veja-se este exemplo:

"The New York Times is participating in the dissemination of the stolen State Department cables that have been made available to it in one way or another via WikiLeaks. My friend Steve Hayward recalls that only last year the New York Times ostentatiously declined to publish or post any of the Climategate emails because they had been illegally obtained. Surely readers will recall Times reporter Andrew Revkin's inspiring statement of principle: "The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won't be posted here."
