“I listened to these broadcasts and was surprised and dismayed to hear how little they knew about or understood the actual proposal,” Goldberg wrote. “The Times has a basic responsibility to get their facts straight — even if those facts don’t help them advance their particular view of reality. It frustrated me enough that I wrote down a point by point correction.”
