And now you know the rest of the story

For those who saw the FOX interview with MSU entomologist Dr. Cognato (sawa, for those who didn’t, here it is), you will be interested to hear his side of the story.

Take the time to register (samahani, it’s annoying but I couldn’t find it anywhere else) and read a response to the interview by Dr. Cognato, hapa. In summary, he basically confirmed what was suspected, that they weren’t 100% moja kwa moja naye katika nafasi ya kwanza na kumpa tu kama masaa sita ya maandalizi. Inafurahisha kusikia kwamba Tucker Carlson alipendezwa na mkusanyiko wa entomolgy (ingawa, maslahi yanayotambulika ni mbinu muhimu katika ukanda wa chombo cha waandishi wa kumpokonya mhojiwa wake silaha…). Hata hivyo, Cognato alifanya kazi nzuri kupambana na wasio na akili, kupinga sayansi, mrengo wa kulia, mashine ya propaganda. Ni wazi kwamba aliwekwa katika hali ngumu, FOX alikuja kwake na alitaka kujadili mkusanyiko. Alijua hangekuwa tayari kujiandaa vyema kwa mahojiano (Najua hakika singekuwa pia!), lakini ilibidi kusimama kwa ajili ya mkusanyo huo kwa hofu kwamba wanaweza kuwa wameukanyaga bila kukanusha chochote cha haki. Inasikitisha kuwa karibu hatuna chanzo cha habari zisizo na upendeleo siku hizi. Ikiwa ulifuatilia hadithi hii unapaswa kuchukua muda kusoma kuhusu jinsi ilivyotokea.
