Peyton Place at the Times

Sphere: Related Content

The upstanding NY Times seems almost like an episode of As the World Turns:

The New York Times is not always the most collegial place to work, but this story sets a new standard -- if the allegations are true, which remains in dispute.

The Times has fired Susan Sachs, its former Baghdad bureau chief. According to Times sources who insisted on anonymity because personnel matters are involved, the paper's management accused Sachs of writing to the wives of two other Times foreign correspondents, to say that their husbands were having affairs.

Sachs denied to management that she had written the letters, but she was accused of not telling the truth based on electronic information involving at least one follow-up e-mail she is said to have written, the sources said.

I thought the Times loved whistle blowers. My question is who were the two men that were whoring around on their wives. They must be some big names to get this woman canned.
