... specifically, their promotion of
a book that has proven to be poorly sourced:
Editors' NoteAn article last Sunday about books of collected quotations from public figures compared a new one about
Hillary Rodham Clinton with less recent books about President Bush and
Donald H. Rumsfeld.
...because of an editing error, the article did not make it clear until the 16th paragraph that many quotations in the book had been culled from disputed sources or unverifiable private conversations. (The Bush and Rumsfeld books, by contrast, included mostly comments made in front of crowds or at news conferences, often on videotape.) The distinction should have been made as soon as the example was cited.
... but it wasn't, because of the
Times' institutional bias against liberals in general, and the Clintons, because they are still vested in the third-rate "Whitewater" reporting by Don van Natta and every other rube "journalist" else who was duped by David Bossie and the 82nd Klintoon-haters Media Infantry.
And
why haven't you reviewed the book in question on Amazon... or at least found the reviews helpful or not?
