Seems Like Targeting

09 Feb 2024

Description

I. Recently Claudine Gay resigned as President of Harvard over plagiarism accusations and a fumbled Congressional testimony on anti-Semitism. The plagiarism was discovered by conservative journalists Chris Rufo and Chris Brunet. It would be quite a coincidence for them to find it at exactly the moment Gay was already under attack for her anti-Semitism testimony. More likely, they either: Found it a while ago, and kept it in reserve for a time when Gay was in the news Or were angry about Gay's testimony, looked for dirt on her, and found it. I think this is obvious to everyone, but I hadn't seen anyone make it explicit, and I think it should be. I'm not criticizing Rufo and Brunet. Investigative journalism is important, they found a real scandal, and they have every right to bring it to light. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/seems-like-targeting
