Presto! Enter the ‘dispute’; cue the ‘doubt.’ With a mere two sentences (the exact amount of space, incidentally, that Clinton devoted to the internship in her 562-page memoir), Gerstein creates dispute about something that, at least in the context of the article, has never been disputed. Except, of course, by—now—Gerstein himself.

Which is brilliant as rhetoric. But as journalism? Not so much.
