Actually, it is not, as you so gently term it, "a load of crap".  It was
one of the first occasions on which Network News used a live feed -- I
suspect "live" being several hours old to allow for editing.  But the
moderator was asking questions and Bradlee was answering, so it was
transmitted in real time.

This was quite a stink at the time:  there was a major article in the
Washington Post magazine on this one Sunday, and I recall that the National
Review also did an article on this.  (I was in college at the time and,
trust me, we argued this one out to its limits.
