Everyone who utters criticism of Sam Harris spends 24 hours being called a liar until adherents exhaust themselves & he picks next Goldsteinhttps://twitter.com/NesrineMalik/status/804307746657075202 …

in a nutshell!
-
When someone destroys their own credibility with such a blatant lack of integrity in one area...
-
That’s just it. “Their own credibility” shldn’t be an issue. *A piece of work* is good or isn’t—the next one may still be shite.
-
Well, it is. Reputation for balance, honesty & integrity matters to many people. You can tell me it shouldn't but it does
-
If I’ve learnt anyth in
#journalism, it’s that *everyb* has a blind spot like that. Even w that factored in, GG is above avg. -
Well, he'll only lose credibility for the people who are interested in the area of his blind spot then.
-
Why do you suppose that loss of credibility shld spill over into other areas? That’s the weird thing: for many ppl, it doesn’t.
-
Does it not? I must be weird then.

You shldn’t automatically trust anyb’s judgment, anyway. ;) Same w
@ggreenwald—when he gives sources, arguments, etc, he’s good. -
Really?! I never knew. Thanks!
-
What I meant was: Trust is a misplaced category in
#journalism. Either sth is checkable or it isn’t. Trust don’t enter into it. -
Maybe not for you but I'm still less likely to bother reading someone I already know likes to twist & distort &misrepresent
