<title>&#x3C;em&#x3E;NY Times&#x3C;/em&#x3E; cropped Bill Clinton quote regarding whether foundation donors would try to influence a Hillary Clinton administration  </title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200712200002</link>
<description>In a &#x3C;em&#x3E;New York Times&#x3C;/em&#x3E; article, Don Van Natta Jr., Jo Becker, and Mike McIntire reported that Bill Clinton has &#x22;pledged to make public future donors&#x22; to the William J. Clinton Foundation if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is elected president. The article then stated, &#x22;While disclosure is not legally required, failure to do so, Mr. Clinton said, would raise &#x27;all these questions about whether people would try to win favor with her by giving money to me.&#x27; &#x22; But the article omitted the rest of Clinton&#x27;s statement, in which he asserted, &#x22;You know it wouldn&#x27;t work, and I don&#x27;t think they would. Still, there are legitimate questions.&#x22;  </description>

<title>Van Natta falsehood exposed: Anonymous sources far outnumber named sources in &#x3C;em&#x3E;Her Way&#x3C;/em&#x3E;</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200706160003</link>
<description>&#x3C;em&#x3E;Her
Way&#x3C;/em&#x3E; co-author Don Van Natta Jr. claimed that, in writing the book,
he and Jeff Gerth &#x22;were able to interview 500 people, many of them on the
record -- most of them on the record.&#x22; In fact, a &#x3C;em&#x3E;Media Matters&#x3C;/em&#x3E; review counted 101 distinct named interviewees in the book&#x27;s endnotes. Of the 873 citations to interviews, 309 were to interviews of named sources, while 564 were to interviews of anonymous sources.</description>

<title>On &#x3C;em&#x3E;GMA&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, Gerth and Van Natta dodged discussion of claim that alleged &#x22;pact&#x22; included two terms as president for Hillary Clinton</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200706040011</link>
<description>In an advance
copy of &#x3C;em&#x3E;Her Way&#x3C;/em&#x3E;,
Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. claim that Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton made a &#x22;secret pact&#x22; early in their careers to &#x22;capture the
presidency for Bill,&#x22; which the Clintons later expanded
to include two terms as president for her. In an appearance on &#x3C;em&#x3E;Good Morning America&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, Gerth and Van Natta dodged questions about the latter claim.</description>

<title>Federal judge blasted &#x3C;em&#x3E;Her Way &#x3C;/em&#x3E;co-author Van Natta for &#x22;fraudulent attribution&#x22; in 1999 &#x3C;em&#x3E;Times &#x3C;/em&#x3E;article</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200705310009</link>
<description>In &#x3C;em&#x3E;Her Way&#x3C;/em&#x3E;,
Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. repeatedly cite former officials in the Office
of Independent Counsel (OIC) to rehash allegations against Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton. This recalls Gerth&#x27;s and Van Natta&#x27;s controversial
reporting on the OIC at &#x3C;em&#x3E;The New York Times&#x3C;/em&#x3E;.
In fact, a federal judge criticized Van Natta for &#x22;journalistic sleight
of hand&#x22; and &#x22;fraudulent attribution&#x22; of key information in a
1999 article. In that article, Van Natta also allowed an OIC spokesman to falsely deny that he had
been a source on internal OIC discussions.</description>
