WSJ quoted Newt himself extensively. There is NO WAY WSJ would misrepresent the story. They are the best reporting paper that still exists.Then you don't know the WSJ. It's news sections are notoriously liberal. Only the editorial pages leans right. And even then it's Establishment right.
Just because their news section leans liberal does not make their Newt’s quotes false. It is impossible that they simply made up the quotes.
