It's worse than just publishing what the administration wants. They've also demonstrated that they're willing to kill pieces that the administration wants killed (at least until they realize their reporters are just going to write a book with the story anyway...). In a recent Frontline episode[1], they do a good job of speaking to some primary sources about an interesting specific instance of story killing related to domestic surveillance, and how that fed into Edward Snowden's decision regarding publication venue for his whistle-blowing leaks. In my eyes, they've fallen a long way since the days of the pentagon papers. [1] United States secrets, part one.
