For de som så FOX-intervjuet med MSU-entomolog Dr. Svoger (OK, for de som ikke gjorde det, her er det), du vil være interessert i å høre hans side av historien.

Ta deg tid til å registrere deg (Beklager, det er irriterende, men jeg fant det ikke noe annet sted) and read a response to the interview by Dr. Svoger, her. In summary, he basically confirmed what was suspected, that they weren’t 100% straightforward with him in the first place and only gave him about six hours to prep. It is nice to hear that Tucker Carlson was actually interested in the entomolgy collection (although, perceived interest is a key tactic in the reporters tool-belt to disarm his interviewee…). Ikke desto mindre, Cognato did a good job battling off the mindless, anti-science, right wing, propaganda machine. It is clear that he was put in a difficult situation, FOX came to him and wanted to discuss the collection. He knew he wasn’t going to be the best prepared for the interview (I know I sure wouldn’t be either!), but had to stand up for the collection in fear that they might have trampled on it without any fair rebuttal. It is sad we have almost no source of unbiased news nowadays. If you followed this story you should take the time to read about how it really happened.
