Le New York Times, le Washington Post et Fox News associés à une recherche "anti-Clinton"?

Association étonnante, mais intéressante, de ces trois géants de l'information aux États-Unis. "Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich" est le titre d'une série qui débutera le 5 mai. Elle s'inspire des recherches de l'auteur Peter Schweizer dont l'ouvrage est considéré comme partisan. Si le soutien de Fox New semble naturel, celui du Times et du Post ne manque pas de surprendre.

 "In an article about the book on Monday, the Times said "Clinton Cash" was "potentially more unsettling" than other conservative books about Clinton "both because of its focused reporting and because major news organizations including The Times, The Washington Post and Fox News have exclusive agreements with the author to pursue the story lines found in the book."

Both the Times and the Post initially did not respond to requests for comment on Monday. However, at 2 p.m., hours after the initial publication of this item, spokespeople from both newspapers sent statements in which editors defended the decisions to work with Schweizer.

"We had access to some material in the book, but we wanted to do our own reporting," Times Washington bureau chief and political director Carolyn Ryan said.

"We made an arrangement with Peter Schweizer’s publisher so we could read his book before publication because we are always willing to look at new information that could inform our coverage," said Post National Editor Cameron Barr. "Mr. Schweizer’s background and his point of view are relevant factors, but not disqualifying ones. What interests us more are his facts and whether they can be the basis for further reporting by our own staff that would be compelling to our readers. There is no financial aspect to this arrangement."
