THAT LIBERAL MEDIA
Ax finally falls on Cohen
BY ALEX IRVINE
The Portland Press Herald, after several years of getting its nerve up, has fired reporter Ted Cohen, who in July 2000 unearthed the story of George W. Bush?s 1976 DWI arrest in Kennebunkport. Cohen?s editor promptly spiked the story, with the result that it didn?t get out into the national media until just before the 2000 election.
The discovery that the Press Herald sat on the story embarrassed executive editor Jeannine Guttman and made the paper an object of ridicule among journalists. Since then, Cohen says, 'the working atmosphere has just been strained beyond words. I would say that it became much more trying once Ryan Blethen succeeded Andrew Russell as regional editor and as my superior.' "
