THE POPPY BUSH HEROIN SMUGGLER PARDON
THE NYT'S EXCUSE FOR IGNORING DISSENT

PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS IN PERSPECTIVE
Submitted by Henrietta and Rick C.

Hi!

We appreciate all of your efforts and your wonderful web site. We are trying to get the following information out to the public. We have sent it to various news organizations without any success. We need your help. We are very sick of the far right wing bashing of anyone who opposes them. We are totally disgusted with their latest hypocrisy... creating a media frenzy about Clinton and the pardons he made to keep the attention off of what Bush and his administration are up to and off of the fact that they blatantly stole the election and then acted like they had a mandate.

We do not have permission to reprint the following from the Associated Press, but wish to give you the facts, so below is the article in its entirety from an article printed in The Courier Tribune, Asheboro. N.C. on January 24, 1993. It appeared in the 'Briefly' section.

Any helpful direction on how we can get this out to the public will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Henrietta and Rick Cummings

Bush frees heroin smuggler in N.C.
By The Associated Press
January 24, 1993
CHARLOTTE - Former President Bush commuted the sentence of a convicted Charlotte heroin smuggler, to the surprise of state officials who said they weren't informed. "I didn't know anything about Bush commuting his sentence," said U.S. District Judge Robert Potter, who sentenced Aslam Adam. Bush, in his last week in office, shaved 47 years off the sentence of Adam, a Pakistani convicted in 1985 of trying to smuggle $1 million worth of heroin into Charlotte. Under the terms of the deal, Adam will be deported immediately.

In response to a letter-writing campaign initiated by FAIR, New York Times senior news editor Bill Borders sent this letter (or a variation of it) to several activists:

EXCUSE LETTER FROM BILL BORDERS OF THE NYT

I have your correspondence about our coverage of the protest demonstrations that coincided with the inauguration of President Bush on Jan. 20.  I am sorry we disappointed you.  But it seems to me that your objection confuses the fact of this, or any, protest demonstration with the events that the demonstrators are protesting against.

The marchers in Washington and elsewhere on Jan. 20 were protesting the irregularities of Bush's election, which we have covered extensively almost every day since Nov. 7.  All the Florida electoral peculiarities have been front page news.

In general, we devote more space to events, developments and situations than to demonstrations protesting (or supporting) the events, developments and situations.  One reason for this is that the demonstrations are staged events, designed to be covered.  So, as we did with this one, we cover them, but modestly.  I think our coverage of this demonstration, both on the front page and with the full article inside, was appropriate to the event.

This modest coverage of the demonstration, a staged event, is wholly separate from our coverage of the details of the election.  That has been, of course, considerably more substantial.

I assure you that our coverage the Bush presidency will continue to be as vigorous and independent as you might expect.  I appreciate your writing, and holding us to a high standard.
