Bill Gardner's Beef with the Gray Lady

By Dan Gorenstein on Thursday, July 27, 2006.

This past Sunday, the New York Times ran a story on the Democratic Party considering changes to its presidential primary calendar.

A DNC committee had recommended placing two more states into the first few weeks of the calendar- a time period that has belonged exclusively to Iowa and New Hampshire.

The Times story differed from other coverage in only one peculiar way.

New York Times senior political reporter Adam Nagourney wrote that New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner refused to speak, and hung up on him.

Every other paper that covered the story seemed to have no problem talking with the state's top election official.

New Hampshire Public Radio's Dan Gorenstein went to find out if Gardner had a beef with the Old Gray Lady.
