Legal Commentary

I am shocked at the substandard ethics displayed by The New Yorker's blogger George Packer.

This New Yorker blogger, George Packer, names me and slams me, but doesn't link, so there's no way for readers to see the context. The context is here.

I didn't "push[] the plastic-device story," I genuinely thought I saw something, something that wasn't a "story" anywhere else -- I took my own freeze-frame photograph. Within 5 minutes, I looked more closely in the surrounding frames and decided it wasn't there and said so. That's all my post was. So what the hell is George Packer talking about?

Shame on you, George Packer! That is truly sleazy! You are so eager to push your little theory that you have lost sight of ethics and fairness. Packer writes:

The problem isn?t lack of education?it?s that of a self-isolating political subculture gone rancid.

Look in a mirror, man. Look in a damn mirror, loser.
