Reply #92: No I didn't cite Commondreams per se. If you check it is a NYT article [View All]

[drummo]

but since on the NYT's own website you have to pay for it I
gave the link to the Commondreams page where the same article was pusblished.

Here is the NYT link to the same NYT story:

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70F17FA385E0C7A8DDDA00894DB404482

And after you made it oh so very clear that you do not regard them as a valid source to cite in these kinds of discussions. We're not having a little double standard or anything now are we?

No we don't since it is a NYT article published on Commondreams website. You see?

Clark Says He Would Have Voted for War
by Adam Nagourney

And you can point out that it's really Adam Nagourney of the NYT as easily as I can point out that I was really citing an editorial by Molly Ivins.


1) it was an editorial, meaning that it was Ivins's personal opinion, nothing more. Doesn't prove anything about Gore.
The NYT article however was a report not an editorial.

2)Of course a report can misquote people. The NYT itself did that several times with Gore. But so far I haven't heard either Clark or anybody else say or prove that the quotes from Clark or Jacoby in that NYT article were false.

It still doesn't detract from the hypocrisy.

Where's the hypocrisy?

To say nothing of the fact that Molly Ivins is generally regarded as far more credible than Adam Nagourney around here.

That's subjective. Just because Ivins is more left-wing than
Nagourney does not mean that she is more accurate.
And again, do not confuse and editorial with a report.
And if you can't prove that Clark denied the accuracy of the quotes in that report you don't have a case.
