McG and others are fond of sneering at people for not having read the linked article when such a thread is started. Had he (or any other rightwing whiners here) actually read the article, they would have seen that the author, Doug Thompson asserts that he had spoken to three staff members who made such a contention. Then, still reading, such a chimerical conservative would have found a link at the bottom of the page with the rubric
Who is this Thompson guy anyway? . . .
But of course, for that sequence of events to have enlightened McG, or whatever other of the right wing whiners showed up to whine, they'd actually have been obliged to read the article, and to investigate further.
