You missed the same point as bounty44. Congratulations.


I missed nothing, thank you.

Wolff is a gossip columnist who has a reputation for getting facts/details wrong and for lacking in certain areas of journalistic ethics, ie; he tells people they're "off the record" and then uses direct quotes or attributions, anyway.

Wolff, himself has also said that he attributed quotes to people that he didn't have notes (or recordings) of, he just kind of stated his interpretation of what they said, later. Of course, he stated those opinions through his unique prism of partisan hackery and lack of attention to detail.

Also, to quote one of our esteemed posters, here: "Bannon is not just toxic; he's nuclear waste"

This book could go down in the annals of real journalism as: "The greatest work of fiction since vows of fidelity were included in the French marriage service" (with apologies to Black Adder)

Those who want to question the credibility of Wolf's book are neglecting to note that almost all of the claims in the book have been independently corroborated in reporting by White House correspondents over the past year.

The major claims of the book are nothing new - they have all been reported consistently over the past year. Wolf's book adds colour detail and candour from named sources that fills out our understanding of events that already have been covered in innumerable reports from the White House press corps. But it adds very little that is new, not previously reported or unavailable to anyone who could read between the lines.
We have read repeatedly about the chaos of the Trump White House, the infighting, the factions, the back stabbings, the hirings and firings, the extraordinary lengths needed to 'manage' Trump etc etc. Anyone familiar with his tweets doesn't need to be told that Trump's mind is embarrassingly childish in many respects. No intelligent observer will have read his recent tweets and not wondered about Trump's mental equilibrium. So Wolf is not telling us anything new or outrageous, just adding depth and detail to what we already knew. We have heard it all before, consistently and from multiple independent sources over the past year. Wolf's book confirms what we already knew or suspected strongly.


Of course all of this adds up to massive corroboration of Wolf's major claims. And those who wish to question the credibility or accuracy of Wolf's book need to come up with some explanation as to why this massive corroboration has been a significant part of the public record consistently over the past year or so.

More people bought 'Fire & Fury' on it's day of release Friday than attended Trump's inauguration.


Ooh what a gem!




DaddySatyr -> RE: And yet another area with Stave Bannon with which I agree (1/8/2018 2:23:38 AM)


I swear, by all I hold holy, I am sick to death of doing peoples' research for them.

quote:

Maggie Haberman, White House correspondent for the New York Times, ripped author Michael Wolff on Friday for "getting basic details wrong" about President Trump's campaign and administration in the newly published book "Fire and Fury."

"I believe parts of it and then there are other parts that are factually wrong," she said on CNN. "I can see several places in the book that are wrong. So for instance, he inaccurately describes a report in the New York Times. He inaccurately characterizes a couple of incidents that took place early on in the administration. He gets basic details wrong."

Haberman said Wolff's "style" is to create a broad narrative in a story, but gets many of the details wrong.

"He creates a narrative that is notionally true, conceptually true, the details are often wrong," she said.


Then, we have this:

quote:

ORIGINAL: HABERMAN (ellipses represent interruptions by other panelists) : No, where he -- where he violates journalistic protocol is he has a history of telling people they're off the record.

... And not just with this book. This is going back to the Murdoch too and other books.

... And then -- and then disregarding that.

ok... Since bounty44 won't answer this question...


there are more but for now, here's one answer---overwhelmingly I don't even read what you post.

anything else has been answered, yes by me (though you don't see it) and by bosco and Michael.

Soooo....

Wolff bashing in full force! Fox News blitz 24/7.

Any answers to these questions?

So if Wolff is a liar, as you say...

1. Why is Sam Nunberg saying that he was quoted 100% correctly in the book? Is he a liar too?
2. Why is Steve Bannon apologizing and trying to spin the comments mentioned in the book? (That he supposed never made in the first place because Wolff is a liar?)
3. Why has no one in the Trump administration claimed that they have been misquoted?




So, since I know I will never get an answer to these questions... I will sum up the logic of Michael (who missed NOTHING), bounty44, and my good friend, BoscoX.


1. Wolff is a liar.

2. Wolff, himself has also said that he attributed quotes to people that he didn't have notes (or recordings) of, he just kind of stated his interpretation of what they said, later. Of course, he stated those opinions through his unique prism of partisan hackery and lack of attention to detail. - Yet, according to Sam Nunberg, he was quoted 100% correctly. - Wow, that is quite an interpretation through his unique prism of partisan hackery! Maybe he got lucky?

3. Steve Bannon apologized for his delayed reaction to his comments, and claimed that they were not about Don Jr, but rather about Paul Manafort instead (e.g. "Don Jr. will crack like an egg".). Bannon's apology and spinning are about comments that he never made, because Wolff is a liar. Because Bannon has a history of referring to comments that he made, but in reality, he never made???

4. While there have been a few people on the periphery, no one in the Trump administration has said they have been misquoted. (And that is because they like being misquoted as saying disparaging things about the President?)

If you wish to continue civil debate, don't speak for me. It's more than rude. I have not done so to you, I would appreciate the same courtesy.

If you wish to continue civil debate, please do so. If not, that is your choice as well.

I stipulated an assertion that you made as fact. That is not even remotely the same as "speaking for you."

I am sorry that you find it "more than rude". That was not my intention. In fact, my intention was rather, the opposite, as I was taking your assertion at face value to be fact.

Engage in debate, or don't. Your choice. If you make assertions, others have the right to comment on them, agree or disagree with them, or do as I did, stipulate them as fact.

Yes, you're right. There are a good number of people who believe speaking for others is not only good debate etiquette, but their right.

Thank you for reminding me.

Perhaps, from your point of view. I'm having a different experience.

In an effort to give a real answer to MJ's question (instead of his perception of my voice, ringing in his head), I will answer the question:

quote:

ORIGINAL: MasterJaguar01
What exactly does this have to do with the dozens of on-the-record quotes he has on tape?


with a couple of small tidbits from "trusted" sources:

quote:

ORIGINAL: Business Insider article
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who the book said warned Trump that he may be under surveillance from British spies, issued a statement describing the claim as "categorically absurd" and "simply untrue."

Anna Wintour, the longtime Vogue editor, also dismissed the claim that she lobbied Trump to be his ambassador to the UK as "laughably preposterous."


So, two "on record" quotes, refuted by the people to whom they're attributed.







Lucylastic -> RE: And yet another area with Stave Bannon with which I agree (1/8/2018 11:37:49 AM)

Considering the lies that come out of trumps whitehouse on almost a daily basis
Im hardly surprised, people are denying it, lol they got caught.

Regarding Blair...
oh....do you remember this??
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/17/white-house-will-not-be-repeat-claims-gchq-spied-trump-

I wonder who the "leaker" was
