Do you not know that people don't go around recording everything that happens around them all the time? Of course he's got to talk to sources and in the Trump admin, a lot of sources are liars. That's not the killer defense of the admin or killer attack on the author you think it is.
What's especially stupid and dishonest about your spin is that right near the start of the book, the author apparently specifically explains all this. Why the **** would he do that if he was trying to hide something, if he was the one trying to fabricate things? He wouldn't because
duh.
He's not a God, is he? No? Then he cannot just *know* what the absolute truth is the way certain DP posters think they just *know*. He has to work with what he has, and what he has is some less reliable sources and some more reliable sources.
:shrug:
From the source:
Michael Wolff, the author of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," included a note at the start that casts significant doubt on the reliability of the specifics contained in the rest of its pages. Several of his sources, he says, were definitely lying to him, while some offered accounts that flatly contradicted those of others. But some were nonetheless included in the vivid account of the West Wing's workings, in a process Wolff describes as "allowing the reader to judge" whether the sources' claims are true. In other cases, the media columnist said, he did use his journalistic judgment and research to arrive at what he describes "a version of events I believe to be true." Here is the relevant part of the note, from the 10th page of the book's prologue:
"Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. These conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book. Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I have, through a consistency in the accounts and through sources I have come to trust, settled on a version of events I believe to be true."
The book itself, reviewed by Business Insider from a copy acquired prior to its Friday publication, is not always clear about what level of confidence the author has in any particular assertion.

But hey....
The book makes the admin look bad, so it must be true, it must be written by a "liberal", and therefore you have given yourself (once again) the go-ahead to rant about "liberals".
