I haven't read Glickman's testimony, and don't plan to, frankly, but everyone needs to keep in mind the nature of the reporting here. The bulk of reporters show up in the hearing rooms long enough for committee staff to set out the written statements. Staff try to reserve them for the media first. If you haven't ever witnessed this ritual, think of piranha swarming for a piece of meat! My point is, a good number of the reporters end up writing their stories based on the submitted statement, rather than the give-and-take that occurs after the reading of the prepared statement. This may explain a couple of things: 1) why Chairman Bennett's comments weren't reflected in the some (all?) of the media coverage; and 2) why the "story" was buried in this morning's Washington Post.
