Kinda has hints of O. J. Simpson’s “If I Did It”, with a “having it both ways” finish.
It has always been the case that a paper will headline a damning take. Fact is, best I can tell from the interview and his words after, he did say such a thing, and I’m having difficulty even trying to imagine how it was taken out of context. That’s a live bomb, and you just don’t touch it. “We should have never taken that money” and then shut up.
- strbean 7y agoSounds to me like Lessig said "We shouldn't have done A, you shouldn't do A. But if you do do A, do B.", and the NYT turned around with the headline "Lessig advocates for A and B".
- danso 7y agoThe NYT’s headline literally contains the conditional used by Lessig: “If You Take Epstein’s Money, Do It in Secret”
