This is chilling, which of course, is the desired effect. The so-called journalists who are applauding this as social justice, are dancing on the graves of their own profession.

Maybe if he had bothered to actually have the piece fact-checked, that thing that editors are supposed to do, he wouldn’t be out of a job.

The idea that serial abusers of women should be shunned by society society seems like common sense to me. Printing an article by a man accused of abuse and sexual assault by a score of women shows a lack of judgement.

Ghosmeshi has the right to say what he pleases. Not publishing him in the NYRB isn’t the denial of those rights. And for the record, I actually agreed with his acquittal on technical grounds. But if he’s innocent so was OJ.

OJ was found responsible in a civil suit. Ghomeshi was never found responsible, and the civil suit was withdrawn. One might assume if there was a reasonable chance at conviction, the civil suit would have proceeded. But it didn’t. This is not analogous to OJ.

Al Capone was never found guilty of any crime other than tax evasion. Is it your position he committed no other crime?
