NY Times reports on Towey's attack on "Your Life, Your Choices" without noting he is selling competing booklet

August 24, 2009 12:18 pm ET

SUMMARY: The New York Times reported that former Bush administration official H. James Towey criticized the booklet, "Your Life, Your Choices" -- which is one of several end-of-life educational materials used by the Veterans Health Administration -- for supposedly "seem[ing] to encourage people to 'hurry up and die,' " and being "so fundamentally flawed that the V.A. ought to throw it out." But the Times did not note that the organization Towey founded is selling its own competing end-of-life booklet, which Towey has reportedly pushed the Veterans Health Administration to buy.
