Post Editor Explains Decision to Publish Expletive by noteworthy at 10:52 am EDT, Jun 26, 2004
The New York Times said Cheney had used "an obscenity" against Patrick Leahy. The Los Angeles Times had Cheney saying "Go ... yourself." CNN said Cheney used "the F-word." But The Washington Post printed the word yesterday for the first time since publishing the Kenneth Starr report in 1998. And that set the town buzzing. "Readers need to judge for themselves what the word is because we don't play games at The Washington Post* and use dashes."*
