Simon and Schuster Changing Its Tune?
The Los Angeles Times reports that Jimmy Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo
noted that Carter and his publisher, Simon and Schuster, “have said that if there are any factual errors, they will be corrected in subsequent editions.”
Now, either this is another Carter falsehood, or Simon and Schuster is changing its tune. Last month, in response to CAMERA’s New York Times ad which called on Simon and Schuster to correct factual errors, Adam Rothberg, head of S&S corporate communications, told Publishers Weekly:
“We’re going to stick with the president’s version.”
Also, the LA Times story covered Kenneth Stein’s first detailed public comments since his resignation from the Carter Center. The Times reported that during his address Thursday in Los Angeles,
Stein . . . said that in two of the most serious errors, Carter misrepresented the wording of a key U.N. resolution and gave a false account of a 1990 meeting he held with former Syrian President Hafez Assad, which Stein attended.
See the CAMERA ad for more on Carter’s distortion of U.N. Resolution 242. According to the Times, Stein is writing a review of Carter’s book for Middle East Quarterly.
