In media news, The New York Times has come out in favor of a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. In an editorial published on Sunday, the Times editors write: “It is time for the United States to leave Iraq, without any more delay than the Pentagon needs to organize an orderly exit.” The Times was widely criticized in the lead-up to the Iraq War for its coverage mirroring the Bush administration’s claims on Saddam Hussein’s nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.
