Correction Please!(Hillary Clinton's book 'Living History' )

ITEM: NBC's Katie Couric praised Hillary Clinton's book Living History as a "very candid" memoir. The June 4th Today show relayed without skepticism Mrs. Clinton's claims of ignorance about Mr. Clinton's philandering. "Hillary's heartache," ran the Couric tease. "Senator Clinton reveals how she learned the painful truth about her husband and Monica Lewinsky."

Hillary's "History".

ITEM: NBC's Norah O'Donnell also gave Mrs. Clinton a pass, speaking of the first lady's alleged reaction in August of 1998: "She now says she was dumbfounded, heartbroken, and outraged that she believed her husband's lies."

CORRECTION: It is simply inconceivable that Hillary Clinton, after eight months of wall-to-wall media coverage, remained oblivious to her husband's adultery until just before his grand-jury testimony.

Moreover, NBC had to know it was just repeating her lies. All the network had to do was to check its previous reporting. On August 14, 1998, according to Media Research Center tapes, Andrea Mitchell told a nationwide audience about Mrs. Clinton: "Politician, strategist, lawyer, protector -- in a marriage that friends say is based on brutal honesty and unconditional love.... Close friends say she knew everything from Day One and still went on NBC in January to deny all."

Longtime Clinton adviser Dick Morris finds this concoction impossible to swallow. "To buy this latest episode of Hillary's Fables," writes Morris, "you'd have to accept that she believed him even after semen was found on Monica's blue dress -- and after the FBI took a sample of his DNA, two weeks before his grand-jury testimony. You'd have to be a fool to buy all that."
