Clay acknowledged to his readers that it was going to be a hit job, so in expectation of the upcoming slander, he recorded the whole interview. At his own web site, Clay points out that of the 2300 words in the story, exactly 94 were words alleged to have been spoken by him, but even those included one “quote” that he never said. The WaPo quoted Clay as saying “I have a lot of fans in the White House” but that quote is no where in the transcript of the actual interview. The WaPo made it up, but of course we expect them to engage in fraud. That is who they are and that is what journalism is nowadays.
Now I want to read Clay's side of it.
