Another Feel-Bad Moment at the 'LA T... Newsroom Cuts at the 'New York Times'

Feb 14 2008 11:23AM EST

Hillary Clinton's fearsome press operation may be able to get a story pulled, but they can't keep it out of print altogether.

Back in September, GQ killed a piece by Josh Green on the Clinton campaign's internal struggles, allegedly to avoid missing out on a cover shoot with Bill Clinton. Now, The Atlantic has published an article that Green says incorporates much of his original reporting -- along with fresher material about the decision to replace campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle.

In other words, instead of appearing last fall, when a lot of voters were still only devoting partial attention to the election, and fluctuations in the polls didn't mean much, Green's story has come out at the most critical juncture of the primaries, with Barack Obama one or two big states away from sewing up the nomination. And instead of appearing in a glossy men's fashion magazine, it's running in one of the country's most respected highbrow publications.

Nice work, Team Clinton.
