White House Accuses NY Times Of 'Gross Negligence'

[CatWoman]

Front-Page Story Blamed Bush For Direct Role In Stoking Economic Crisis

The Bush White House and the New York Times have a long and contentious relationship - even before he was first elected, then-running mate Cheney referred to the paper's Adam Clymer as a "major-league asshole" in September 2000.

In the latest chapter, the White House went on the offensive today, accusing the paper of "gross negligence," issuing a 500-word response to Sunday's 5,000-word front-page article about how Bush's belief in unregulated markets directly led to the mortgage meltdown, reports Politico.com.
