I ...Neil,<BR/><BR/>I read about your tussle with Oliver Kamm. I had an email exchange with him a while back. After the Brockes affair I read about Kamm's own attacks on Chomsky. This lead me to read a little more about Kamm's political opinions. I decided to email him and voice my disapproval, specifically about his defence of Brockes.<BR/><BR/>His response was pretty nasty. He all but called me an idiot. In one email, he wrote this:<BR/><BR/>"On the contrary, no one, including Pofessor Chomsky and the Guardian's External<BR/>Adjudicator, has suggested Emma Brockes fabricated the quotations in her<BR/>interview. Those quotations are quite damning. Emma Brockes is a well-regarded<BR/>journalist. Chomsky is simply not taken seriously in the fields of politics<BR/>and history, and does have a record of fabricating his source material."<BR/><BR/>Wow. How can anyone take this man seriously?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm just writing to offer my thanks. He is an arrogant bully more suited to working for a right wing think tank than in journalsim. If pseudo-journalists like him are not taken to task, we will all be worse off.<BR/><BR/>Nic SadlerGrubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080920592559007566noreply@blogger.com
