NYT Reporter Defends Self Against Santorum Curse-Out

New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny defended his line of questioning towards Sen. Rick Santorum, which culminated in Santorum calling him on “bullshit” and “lying” about the senator’s remarks. Zeleny told CBS’ Charlie Rose: “[Santorum] can certainly do whatever he would like. It is a very common tactic for Republican presidential candidates, or even Democratic presidential candidates, to try and use the media a foil here. We’ve seen Newt Gingrich do it throughout the campaign season. So he clearly knew the cameras were rolling here…he’s very sensitive to these questions.”
