Frank Rich in Conversation with Barbara Walters October 17, 2006

New York Times columnist Frank Rich examines what he says is the trail of fictions manufactured by the Bush Administration from 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina, exposing what he calls the most brilliant spin campaign ever waged. Rich joined the Times in 1980 as its chief drama critic. He has been an op-ed columnist since 1994. He is the author of Ghost Light: A Memoir; Hot Seat: Theater Criticism for The New York Times; and, most recently, The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina. Barbara Walters was co-host and chief correspondent of ABC’s 20/20 for 25 years. She is also co-owner, co-executive producer and co-host of the Emmy-winning The View.
