What we all wanted to know
August 15, 2006
Björn Benkow, the Norwegian journalist recently caught fabricating interviews, has understandably been hounded and besieged by journalists unsuccessfully trying to secure interviews and comments on his demise. So it must have been a welcome change when he received a call from DN's Per Bang, editor of "Paa nattbordet" (on the bedside table). Mr Bang politely told Benkow that he was not calling to ask him who he had interviewed or not interviewed lately, but rather what he had on his bedside table. The Answer? Bill Clinton's biography, a man Benkow describes as one who committed "human but stupid" errors - which he readily admits to having made himself. Link via Propaganda.
