Yes: I dispute them. There are real reasons why the guy was about to be fired. He is a liar, and without scholarly accomplishments. His account of this is a lie too.
I will not answer for Bari, but IтАЩll say that unfortunately we live at a time when assertions like the ones you mentioned above can also be questioned. The fact-checking should also verify if Mr. McLellanтАЩs remarks are not prompted by his own ideology. ThereтАЩs a lot of it these days.
The bottom line is that Mr. Boghossian is denouncing a reality that is very worrisome.
So go ahead--fact check my assertions. You could start with Boghassian's Wikipedia page, from which basic facts-like how long he worked for PSU and what he has published--are drawn from. You could click on the link--to a source more to the right than Bari. But none of that relieves Bari of her responsibility to fact check authors just because they support a point of view she is marketing.
Claire, with all due respect, you raised a new point but did not answer my two points
Yes: I dispute them. There are real reasons why the guy was about to be fired. He is a liar, and without scholarly accomplishments. His account of this is a lie too.
And it leads me to ask again: why does Bari not fact-check these things?

There you go. Your last comment just exposed you.
Because? What did it expose me as--someone who looks for second sources and fact checks?
