This sort of deference is, of course, nothing new. In March of 2003, as the nation prepared for war, a leaked British intelligence memo revealed that the American National Security Agency (NSA) was conducting a joint operation with the British. Turns out the government was bugging the New York offices and residences of U.N. Security Council members as part of its strategy to secure an authorization for the imminent invasion. Sounds like a pretty big scandal, no? The New York Times and most other major American media didn’t seem to think so; they decided to pass...

In April an urgent internal memo from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center was leaked to the New York Times; it stated, "No one from NASA is to do interviews or otherwise comment on anything having to do with" the movie.
