Pulitzer winner Nikole Hannah-Jones, for her essay leading off the NY Times’ “1619 Project,” is one ignorant and stubborn individual, argues this takedown of her as someone so loose with data as makes one wonder how she makes it to work every day.
Her miscues . . .
. . . include her cavalier disregard of historical facts, her preposterous assertions conjured out of thin air, and her refusal to correct mistakes pointed out by dozens of reputable historians, some of whom have well-earned Pulitzer Prizes of their own.
Egad. She should give it back.
Better yet, how does she (and her newspaper) get away with it?
