Updates
Later, 9:27 p.m. Central Time: it took a few days but the White House wordsmiths finally found the right word: "leverage." Everybody
Original Post
It will be interesting to see if / when I see this story on-line at the following site, updating at 4:50 p.m. Central Time:
- Los Angeles Times: if there, not seen (it's probably there, but it did not appear on opening page by Friday morning, August 19, 2016, after story everywhere else; updated 8:29 a.m. Central Time, August 19, 2016)
- Fox News: yes, among the top four stories -- probably the first of the group to post the story
- The New York Times: yes, 8:44 p.m. Central Time, update; sticks with "AP" word: "leverage," not "ransom"
- Washington Post: yes, 7:45 p.m. Central Time, update
- Wall Street Journal: 7:45 p.m. Central Time, update; not ransom, "leverage"
- The [London] Guardian: if there, not seen
- The [London] Telegraph: yes, a top story
*********************************
Everyone Knows
If the NYT does not print this story, then the NYT considers it a non-story.
If it's a non-story, it means that "everyone" knew what was going on. No reason to cover it in the NYT. Call it what you want, it is what it is, and everyone knows.
Oh, good. It gives me an opportunity to post this video:
My hunch is that this story is something President Obama is not even thinking about. At most it's a joke told while golfing, that he got four Americans released by using Iranian cash.
