(I am not Confessore or Halbfinger, but I do work at the Times.) I do appreciate your willingness to listen to the whole take, though, and I'm sorry I do not have the means to provide it. It does seem silly that they'd post the full transcript but not the full recording.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007635024151290238.post-70690384474724983902008-12-30T21:13:00.000-05:002008-12-30T21:13:00.000-05:00It would be interesting to hear the tapes, but the...It would be interesting to hear the tapes, but the Times website only offers excerpts. Those don't include any audio of Halbfinger or Confessore asking questions.

Is it less than $2 million? Is it more than $5 million? How much do you live on each year?" -- but if you listen to the tapes, the tone was friendly throughout, and at times Halbfinger especially sounded apologetic about asking such questions, in a "sorry we have to do this, it's our jobs" tone. In fact, it was Caroline who sounded haughty, as if sitting for reporters was something beneath her. Seriously, listen to the tapes. At one point she even lets out an exasperated huff, when the query was hardly offensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
