I always care what William Hogeland has to say, even or perhaps especially when I disagree with him. But minus "liberaloid" I agree here with almost every word, and I think Serwer and Atlantic should be called out for this. Too bad they have the option to erase their errors, instead of correcting them. Bet Prof. Claudine Gay wishes she had had the same option.

I ended my 40-year subscription to the Atlantic a year ago because the magazine had descended to pure propaganda. And, as for Ross Asshat, I'd sooner believe Homer Simpson.

Good call out on this, Bill! And also good news that the mighty Atlantic had to submit a correction. Looking forward to your book on Hamilton. Best, Sandy Lloyd

Serwer corrected piece and acknowledged the error at the end of the page. You can see it here: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/01/trump-enablers-january-6-resurrection/677187/

Does that in any way change your assessment of Serwer's integrity? (Should add: Adam's a friend of mine, and while he can make errors, as any of us can and I certainly have, I have great respect both for his intellect and honesty.
