Intellectual Magazine Smackdown?
We love a good war of words between two esteemed, intellectually high-brow publications just like anybody else. Or even the beginnings of one. The latest installment: The Nation‘s Richard Kim railing against Harper’s decision to publish a “15-page article by well-known AIDS denialist” Celia Farber, a former Spin writer (like Spin needs to be even remotely associated with any more scandalish news this week). In it, Kim says, Farber “extensively” repeats Berkeley virologist Peter Duesberg’s discredited theory that HIV does not cause AIDS.
Kim digs in:
It’s a shame that a magazine as well respected as Harper’s has shirked its duty to report on these issues and instead published Farber’s article.
Uh,
