Did Alter, Dowd And Healy Mislead Readers On The Clinton-Rose Interview?

I have no idea. Actually, I have no idea why Maureen Dowd so has it in for Hilary Clinton - I missed that one, and never caught up.

Anyway, if you're interested in the answer to question posited by this post then go to

Newsweek's Alter, like NY Times, omitted Rose's on-air explanation for abrupt ending of Clinton interview
Summary: Referencing an interview former President Bill Clinton gave on PBS' The Charlie Rose Show, Newsweek's Jonathan Alter wrote, "During a December taping with PBS's Charlie Rose, a frustrated Clinton called [Sen. Barack] Obama 'a roll of the dice,' as aides tried to end the interview." However, Alter omitted Rose's on-air comments in which he indicated why Clinton's aides wanted to "end the interview."
