The New York Times is coming under fire from political Web site Politico.com for not being more forthcoming about partnerships it made with NBC, reports TVNewser. The Times has a year-old political news partnership with NBC News and MSNBC and a 7-month old business news partnership with CNBC. The Times recently broke the story about political commentator Rachel Maddow receiving her own show on MSNBC.
