The New Republic has seemed to be a primary source for gossip from within the Clinton campaign. While the New York Times article on the Penn firing presented no unique content (in focused on background as familiar to anyone following the story, and gave a run-of-the-mill sound bite from Maggie Williams), the new Republic emerged with juicy details about both Penn’s rivalry with Harold Ickes and his power play under campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle. Despite its venerated status as the paper of record, the New York Times was less interesting and less informative when it came to Mark Penn.
