The New York Times Weighs In

Often described as “the journal of record” (for the socialist international its critics would say), the New York Times recaps questions raised by critics of Dinesh D’Sousa’s cover article for Forbes Magazine.

Key quote:

The essay in Forbes was adapted from Mr. D’Souza’s book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage,” which is being published by Regnery Publishing and will be released on Oct. 4. Kathleen Sweetapple, a publicist for Regnery, e-mailed a statement on behalf of Mr. D’Souza, who wrote, “there are a couple of minor errors that are completely inconsequential; what the critics are fuming about are not factual errors but disagreements of interpretation.” (My emphasis added).
