So yesterday it was reported everywhere that Condoleezza Rice said of the Gaza pullout by Israel that "it cannot be Gaza only." And had our sole source of information been the press we wouldn't have learned that (a) it came from the New York Times, and (b) the New York Times fabricated the quote. But today, we have the State Department who is able to publish a raw transscript of the interview, and we have countless Bloggers who are capable of pulling up two web pages at once. As seen on Little Green Footballs: Condoleezza Rice and The New York Times The transcript of the interview was posted by the State Department this week. It shows that the purported quote -- made the centerpiece of the Times story [and the source of the "it cannot be Gaza only" comment -- ed.] -- was constructed by the Times from two separate, unrelated comments by Rice -- one taken out of context, the other not even accurately quoted. Liberal bias leading to mis-information about Palestine? Naaaaaahhhh... posted by William Woody at 8:56 AM
