WSJ
The WSJ Editorial staff explains why it ran the story that revealed the Bush Admin’s banking monitoring program.
Some argue that the Journal should have still declined to run the antiterror story. However, at no point did Treasury officials tell us not to publish the information. And while Journal editors knew the Times was about to publish the story, Treasury officials did not tell our editors they had urged the Times not to publish.
The WSJ also blasts the NYT:
We suspect that the Times has tried to use the Journal as its political heatshield precisely because it knows our editors have more credibility on these matters.

Does their editorial board decide what to run in the news pages?
