Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean answer questions as frankly as they are able about their weekend piece: what was in it, what left out, and what was "corrected." Both don't shy away from the "crash-retrievals" element in their report. About 24:30 into the interview the 800-pound gorilla "walk-back" of Senator Harry Reid's portion is addressed. Blumenthal and Kean emphasize that Reid's
quotes were not changed, but
wording used to paraphrase Reid views was altered as Reid felt a need to pull back from it. They delineate The Gray Lady's process for developing and editing stories, including decisions upon length and theme that impact what information gets into a finished product. A "must-listen." Paul Seaburn highlights two major elements in the
NYT article with his
Pentagon and Harry Reid Comment on New York Times Revelation of Secret UFO Program. The good-humored Paul makes an unintentional "funny" in his Eric W. Davis quote about "off-road vehicles not made on this earth," notes the Reid walk-back, and turns to the response to the article by Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough. With good reason Paul compliments Keith Basterfield for
An Analysis of the Latest Department of Defense Statement on UAP. Keith sorts out the Susan Gough repeats from the more interesting statements with a care one hopes was used in crafting them in the first place. (WM)
