I literally JUST asked this question on the previous post....
ReplyDeleteRand's foot just keeps getting shoved in deeper and deeper...although he can still blame the aide that conversed with Walter....claiming it's all a big misunderstanding.
Agreed. The New Yorker is as trustworthy as the NYT.
ReplyDeleteThing is guys, I don't remember the NYT's ever denying what Walter ACTUALLY said, they just refused to retract their interpretation of it and/or contextualize it.
ReplyDeleteIn this circumstance, the very words are contested. The New Yorker has actual quote marks around the comment in question....it would be very bold of them to make such a claim, back it up even on the phone with RW...only to later have to admit they lied not once, but twice.
Even for an establishment rag, it seems a step too far. Perhaps time will tell and we'll get the recording.
