[Marxism] re: Cockburn on the Guardian smear job on Chomsky

["M. Junaid Alam" <alam1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is highly unfortunate. I'm surprised, actually, because I always
figured Chomsky would have some recorders, if not videotape monitors, in
his office. When I got to interview him I had this really crappy digital
microphone that was mostly an MP3 player. It almost died on me before I
could load the mp3 recording onto my computer. Anyway, because of its
quality and Chomsky's voice - which he warned about beforehand - I
couldn't make out a few lines here and there. I sent the transcribed
text back to him to look over and he cleared up the parts I couldn't
understand from his own memory, and I realized they were exactly what
he'd said and what made most sense from my own (triggered)
recollections. I was sure he had to have some kind of recording
equipment set up on his office. That would for sure make impossible
these pseudo-journalistic drive-byes. Guess it was just his amazing
memory after all.
