I stand corrected: I thought this RNC ad misquoted me, but the quote came from a TV hit. So I've deleted my previous tweet about this. Big picture point: Wolff's errors are sloppy, but many Trump experts say the book "rings true" overall. My advice: Read it — skeptically

Having many errors but “ringing true” is not a journalistic standard.

Why read it at all? It’s no different than a tabloid. If i can’t discern fact from fiction, I’ll assume it’s all false.

No need to read this book. NPR will use every line in it as a headline over the next six months or more. Untruth is the Left's gospel.

Must be a first that a book full of Mistruths is still being held up by journalism experts as still something people should read.

Via WashPost's @MarkBerman: This page in Wolff's book has 3 errors. @HilaryRosen's name is misspelled. Wilbur Ross was the commerce nominee, not labor. And Berman says he's never been to this restaurant.

The Mark Berman error was sloppy editing. It was the LOBBIEST Mark Berman that it referred to, which you've already been told about and still haven't corrected/deleted your tweet about
