New York Times Wrangles with Rangel

ABC News’ Rick Klein Reports: Since we weighed in on this earlier in the week, it’s worth pointing out that The New York Times’ David Kocieniewski has responded point-by-point to the claims made by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., alleging unfair reporting about his official actions.

One choice quote in a thorough response: “Interviews with lawmakers, lobbyists who worked on the legislation and Congressional staff members — including aides to the top Senate Democrat — made clear that the objections that killed the move to end the tax loophole came from Mr. Rangel himself.”
