Duncan Black, A Media Whore Online And A Hypocrite

If it were possible for me to sue Duncan Black for carrying the lies that Steve Simels has told about me on his for-profit blog for the past six or seven years, I would do it.

Duncan has certainly been aware that he publishes the lies told about me on his blog for years and has certainly done nothing to prevent that happening.  This afternoon, there was this exchage:

Oh yeah, let's have a Wansee Conference.


So, as you can see, there is actual defamation published there.   It, of course, doesn't occur to these members of his "Brain Trust" (they really do call it that) that they might want to actually see what was written that they're commenting on.

I have pointed out the irony of Duncan Black having gotten his start in blogging through the encouragment of the long defunct and entirely better blog, Media Whores Online, dedicated to exposing the lies in the corporate media.  "The Horse" as she was known, encouraged Duncan who was considered something of a protogee, several articles he wrote were published there, including one that held Katha Pollitt responsible for The Nation which she was a columnist for.  The Nation, published articles by Christopher Hitchens, though, unlike Black, she had no responsibility for deciding what was published in the magazine.  Duncan Black does have that kind of control, he could stop Steve Simels from publishing libel at Eschaton any time he chose to.   I at one time made the mistake of being a regular at Duncan's blog and was rather supportive of him, defending him when he was criticized.  That was a mistake, he's a jerk.  I wonder if "The Horse" has seen what an ass her protogee is or if she cared or cares that he practices the kind of thing her blog was opposed to.

I am asked, from time to time, why I bother paying attention to the lying troll, let me ask you how you would like to have someone create the lie that Steve Simels has created about me if it were you.
