Так кто же раздул скандал?

Оказывается, корреспонденции о планируемом выступлении в конгрессе были... мягко говоря, неточными.
Did the Obama Administration lie about Netanyahu?

Суть вкратце: "Нью-Йорк Едиот" вынуждена была исправить ключевой момент - что Белый Дом не знал о приглашении:

The story of Netanyahu’s perfidy grew to the extent that the New York Times reported, incorrectly, that Netanyahu accepted the invitation before the White House had been informed of it. The Times then issue the following correction.  “An earlier version of this article misstated when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accepted Speaker John A. Boehner’s invitation to address Congress. He accepted after the administration had been informed of the invitation, not before.”

This correction has circulated in conservative and pro-Israel circles, but doesn’t seem to have led to any followup, or any investigation by those who initially reported the opposite. Were senior White House aides exaggerating the story, or did the Times get caught up in its own anti-Netanyahu narrative?
