MEDIA AND DRONES

Evidently the New York Times and Washington Post kept some information secret to honor the Obama administration request to do so for national security reasons.

US news organisations are facing accusations of complicity after it emerged that they bowed to pressure from the Obama administration not to disclose the existence of a secret drone base in Saudi Arabia despite knowing about it for a year.

I kinda think that if this were the Bush administration, I don't think the mainstream media would have been as compliant.
