Liberal NYT columnist says 'desperate' Biden camp pressured her to change transcription of president's gaffe
Fox News
After Biden's catastrophic debate performance last month, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd said it's clear his team is prepared to "go to war over every syllable."
The ABC News transcript of Biden's Friday interview with Stephanopolous also initially transcribed him as saying "goodest." However, ABC News then updated the transcript to read, "I did the good as job as I know I can do," and added an editor's note that read, "This transcript has been updated for clarity."

After using the original Biden quote in her Saturday column, Dowd said she was contacted by T.J. Ducklo, a Biden campaign spokesman, who emailed her to "flag" that ABC had updated its transcript.
