      21. Flanagan lost CBC gig but public broadcaster has right to be wary of someone who is glib & ignorant about a very serious topic.

      22. If we want to talk about censorship, what about voices that never get to go on CBC or have Globe columns?

      23. How many Native Canadians have a Globe perch like Flanagan? How many were on CBC as much as he was before the fall?

      24. Flanagan's original remarks not so much wrong as glib, ill-informed, & thoughtless. Which is a problem when talking about child abuse

      25. Real pariahs generally don't have long articles defending them in national newspapers. Just saying.

      26. Flanagan-as-pariah narrative assumes he deserves to have powerful politicians listen to his words & national TV audience. Bit much.

      27. Flanagan is part of larger pattern: see also Wente & Paikin. Canadian media/political elite not used to criticism. Reacts badly.

      28. Note Wente's repeated sneering references to "Native activists" -- the villains of the piece.

      29. Flanagan's critics are "Native activists" -- but is Flanagan a "right-wing activist"? No, he's scholar and media sage.

      30. As excellent @AdelePerry notes, under-examined part of story is Flanagan's role as First Nation's expert.

      31. Maybe I'm wrong, but my sense is Flanagan is not as well regarded by actual scholars of Native issues as he is by media.

          @HeerJeet Peggy did not so much explore actual Flanagan issue as much as she appended/adapted it to reflect/buttress one of her fave themes.

          @AdelePerry I'm tempted to write that Flanagan is as much an expert on Native issues as on child porn, but perhaps going too far.

          32. If Flanagan had been talking about works of the imagination (drawn or digital images, however shocking) I would defend him all the way.

          @HeerJeet I read through all the tweet treatise about Wendt & Flanagan. 100% agree-no apologists for crimes against childrn can be toleratd

          @danrueck That's the real scandal here, in a way. Discredited by scholars, an "expert" in Globe & elsewhere.
