Let’s go to the tape

I think it’s fair to say that Rick Richman of Jewish Current Issues has caught the New York Times perpetrating some shabby journalism in connection with its recent interview of Condoleezza Rice: “Condoleezza Rice and the New York Times.” Richman compares an August 18 Times story on the interview with the State Department transcript of the interview released on August 22.
In his column today, Charles Krauthammer follows the Times’s twist on one of the key Rice quotes: “The stakes after Gaza.” As a result, his column is not entirely fair to Rice, through no fault of his own.
