As if the extensive coverage the Times has already given to Wednesday Martin's book Primates of Park Avenue weren't enough, the newspaper is back today with more:
•A friendly paragraph-long mention in a front-of-the-arts-section piece about an unrelated television program, and,
*A brief article inside the business section disclosing that, after the New York Post found factual problems with the book, the publisher "said it would append a note to future editions of the book, written by the social researcher Wednesday Martin, clarifying that some of the memoir's details and chronologies were changed." Now they tell us!
These two latest articles bring to seven the total number of Times pieces about the book, so far as I can tell.
By comparison, Times advance coverage of the election in Turkey, a NATO ally of America with a population of more than 80 million, appears to have consisted, so far as I can tell, of a single article asserting, "Opinion polls suggest that Mr. Erdogan's party will easily win the most seats in Parliament on Sunday."
