Some of the many errors in the Mother Jones piece entitled "Double Barrled Double Standards," Oct. 13, 2003:

One thing to note in reading the two interviews is that the reporter is very hostile. I have learned through hard experience that you have to be very careful for every part of what you say because a part of any one sentence can be taken out of context in the final piece. There is one part of the discussion where I offered to briefly go through points off the record precisely so that I could discuss the issues without worrying about something being taken out of context (and I am sure that the reporter understood this), but he was unwilling to accept my offer. Here is a short list of some of the errors in the piece.
