The suspect's digital footprint, including his social media presence and reviews of books like the Unabomber Manifesto, was scrutinized by TikTok users, who turned him into a hero figure. His Instagram posts, particularly shirtless photos, also contributed to his online popularity.
Claudine Gay faced backlash due to plagiarism allegations in her academic work, which were amplified by conservative media. Additionally, her handling of campus protests and her role as a 'diversity hire' fueled criticism, leading to her resignation.
UnitedHealthcare denied about a third of all claims in 2023, twice the industry average, and its parent company, UnitedHealth Group, earned nearly $400 billion in revenue. The company's aggressive denial of claims and its monopolistic practices in the healthcare industry sparked widespread anger.
Social media platforms like TikTok turned the suspect into a hero, with users analyzing his digital footprint, sharing memes, and celebrating him. This reaction contrasted sharply with the disgust expressed by traditional media and conservative commentators.
Critics alleged that Gay's academic papers and dissertation contained inadequate citations and quotation marks, though Harvard's review did not conclude that her errors met the university's standards for plagiarism. The allegations were used to question her qualifications as a 'diversity hire.'
The reaction highlighted the growing divide between social media users, who saw the suspect as a hero, and traditional media, which condemned the act. It also underscored the deep-seated anger toward corporate America and the healthcare industry's practices, as reflected in the suspect's alleged manifesto.
The plagiarism allegations tarnished Harvard's reputation, particularly as they were used to question the university's commitment to diversity and equity. The controversy also exposed the growing backlash against DEI initiatives in higher education.
The Commonwealth Fund report ranked the U.S. last among 10 nations in terms of access to care, administrative efficiency, equity, and health outcomes. The U.S. healthcare system was found to be far behind other nations, with medical debt being a leading cause of bankruptcy.
Conservative media outlets like the Washington Free Beacon and activists like Christopher Rufo amplified the plagiarism allegations, framing them as evidence of Harvard's failure to uphold academic integrity. Their reporting created a media storm that pressured Harvard to act.
Nick Hanauer's TED Talk warned plutocrats about the growing income inequality and the potential for revolution. His message resonated with the public's anger toward corporate America, which was reflected in the reaction to the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

He seems like someone I would probably be friends with. Mama, I'm in love with a criminal. That's a spicy meatball.

Also on this week's show, Harvard president Claudine Gay found herself in the hot seat at a congressional hearing last year after protests on campus were deemed anti-Semitic. But that was just the beginning of her troubles. The elite college is facing pressure again to oust its leader.

You know the story. On Wednesday, December 4th, a hooded assassin gunned down a corporate exec on a midtown Manhattan street in the hushed twilight just before sunrise. From there, the narrative took off in many directions. And with so little context to be found at that early stage, police and journalists went online to comb for clues.
TikTokers were at it too, doing what they do so often, turning a breaking news event into a group scavenger hunt. Yo, go do a deep dive on this guy right now. He's got a Twitter account.
And honestly, seems like someone I would probably be friends with. That video got 1.8 million likes. The astrology girl has got a hold of his birth chart. Are you ready for this? There's no surprises. Taurus, sun, Virgo, moon, Aries rising. And y'all want to argue that astrology is not real? When I Googled him, his Goodreads showed up. And as a bookish content creator, I'm at liberty to review his Goodreads presence. So let's get into it.
Those who pored over his digital footprint found his positive review of the Unabomber Manifesto and his review of a book about back pain. They found what appeared to be the X-ray of his back surgery, a LinkedIn profile that pointed to a stint in the video game industry, and an ex-account following Andrew Huberman, AOC, Joe Rogan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Ezra Klein, and Sam Altman.
a fairly unremarkable mishmash media diet for a tech bro interested in politics and fitness. Speaking of which, it was his Instagram account and all those shirtless photos that likely drew the most attention this week. People had already decided he was a sex symbol based on like the two inches of eyeball that we'd seen from him. But now we've got full body T like he is ridiculous.
Ripped. It feels like it's Christmas Day on the internet. Mama, I'm in love with a criminal. And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical. That was Britney Spears. And I believe we're all feeling that right now. Because Luigi...
There were videos about whether Mangione could be saved with jury nullification and offers to pay his legal bills and unfounded theories about how he'd been framed. For much of social media, this was a clear-cut story of a hero and villain. Today we mourn Brian Thompson, a man who revolutionized healthcare.
by denying it. - Empathy is unfortunately not covered under our current plan. You know what I mean? - Deny, defend, oppose on the bullet casings. I was like, oh wow. Yeah, clear message. Sent and received. We got it. - After this healthcare CEO thing, we're so close to class consciousness, like millimeters away.
Like roughly nine millimeters away. The dark humor, the glee and the overnight canonization of a murder suspect sparked disgust and confusion. An op-ed from the Wall Street Journal's editorial board argued that Mangione devolved into madness as he, quote, trafficked in the theories of exploitation and blame that dominate corners of the Internet.
Adrienne LaFrance, executive editor of The Atlantic, described the killing in the specter of political violence as a sign of impending de-civilization. But her piece made no reference to America's broken health care system, which is also quite bad for civilization. Here's Chris Cuomo on News Nation. You are worse than what you oppose when you celebrate murder as a justifiable end for disagreement.
Over policy. I mean, what the hell is going wrong here? The Instagram posts from nutbag people. Laura Ingram on her Fox News show this week. Crazy. Like, he's cute, he's...
And people celebrating this, this is a sickness. Honestly, it's so disappointing, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised. And up next, the other big news out of New York, Daniel Penny. A lot of people think he's a hero, and tonight he's not guilty. My take next. This is simply Marxist-leftist radical evil. Ben Shapiro on his YouTube channel last week. When you say it's okay to murder CEOs on the street, that is a call for revolution.
Second, violence against members of private industry, that isn't even a protest to public policy. Let's be fair about this. That isn't even shooting politicians, which would be evil enough. It's even a different level of evil because it's a protest against the very system of free markets themselves.
Shapiro's audience appeared to disagree. The video was heavily downvoted by a ratio of 8 to 1. If you go down to the comments section, you'll find messages with thousands of likes. Quote, remember guys, Ben has more in common with that CEO than he has with any of us. Quote, this isn't a left versus right issue. It's the working class versus the wealthy. And that's probably why you're trying to pretend it's something it's not.
Quote, "Saw my lifelong hardworking father become bankrupt as a result of claims being denied after getting cancer. You are out of touch, man." Quote, "Wow, maybe I've been wrong this entire time. Ben, I don't think you actually care about us. I think you just want our money. I think you just want us to hate each other." Many have evinced shock at the mixed reaction to cold-blooded murder. Others not so much.
In recent days and years, we've often marveled at the reactions of our fellow Americans. But as we grope for some clarity, at least this time, we don't have to grapple with slippery intangibles like zeitgeist. This context is quantifiable. So get ready for some numbers. ♪
According to data derived from CMS, the federal agency overseeing the coverage of more than 160 million people on Medicare, Medicaid, the CHIPS program, and the health insurance marketplace, UnitedHealthcare dismissed about a third of all claims in 2023. That's twice the industry average.
Its parent company, UnitedHealth Group, raked in close to $400 billion this past year, revenues that have grown by between 9 and 14 percent each year going back to 2021. It's ranked by Fortune magazine the eighth largest company in the entire world. Now, Mr. Witte, UnitedHealth Group
owns the country's largest insurer, the country's largest claims processor, the country's third largest pharmacy benefit manager, a huge pharmacy chain. At a Senate Finance Committee hearing last May, Senator Elizabeth Warren grilled UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witte, noting that the company employs, or she said controls, 10 percent of the nation's doctors.
Because UnitedHealth has bought up every link in the healthcare chain, you are now in a position to jack up prices, squeeze competitors, hide revenues, and pressure doctors to put profits ahead of patients.
UnitedHealth is a monopoly on steroids. In January, the health news outlet Stat published a detailed investigation into how a UnitedHealthcare subsidiary, NaviHealth, used algorithms to deny care for seniors enrolled in the company's Medicare Advantage plan. That prompted a class action lawsuit against UnitedHealthcare and its parent company.
Also this year, a Senate committee concluded that UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and CVS, which owns Aetna, had purposefully denied claims for costly nursing care to patients recovering from falls and strokes.
Then there's the class action lawsuit brought by the City of Hollywood Firefighters Pension Fund against the late Brian Thompson and two other United Health Group execs for allegedly dumping stock just before a Justice Department antitrust investigation into the company.
And there's so much more. The prior authorization process, where a physician might have said, you need this procedure, and UnitedHealthcare found ways to slow walk that, delay the procedure, deny the procedure, and ask for more paperwork. Our pretzel-shaped, employer-based-slash-government-funded-slash-public-private hybrid of a healthcare system was a compromise crafted in part to protect the deep-pocketed insurance company's bottom lines—
Even leaving the corruption aside, compared to peer nations, American health care, in a word, sucks. Let me just start off this video by saying I do not condone violence by any means. But as a mom who was nine months pregnant,
sitting in the emergency room with my one-year-old baby, being told she had a giant brain tumor that was causing her brain to essentially swell out of her head. She needed to be transferred to New York City so she could have emergency brain surgery. And instead, we sat in the hospital for three days because UnitedHealthcare refused to approve the transfer via ambulance from the hospital where we live to another state. And again, this isn't to condone violence whatsoever.
all i'm saying is that i do not doubt for a second
what the motive of that suspect was. In the latest Commonwealth Fund report comparing global health across the globe, 10 nations, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States were assessed on five criteria, access to care, care process, administrative efficiency, equity, and health outcomes. A
Australia scored first and Germany second to last, but frankly, they were clustered pretty closely together. All of them met their residents' basic health care needs, including universal coverage, until you got to the U.S., which was so far below the others on the graph, it looked like it had been dropped there by accident.
Meanwhile, medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy in America. More than 100 million people, 41% of adults, are struggling with medical bills they can't pay, according to an investigation by KFF Health News with NPR and CBS News.
KFF, formerly the Kaiser Family Foundation, said that the project, quote, exposed that medical debt rather than fighting disease is now a defining feature of the nation's health care system. So about that so-called manifesto, a few pages penned by Luigi Mangione reported in snippets, but at this writing still isn't available to read in context.
Well, here's what NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenney had to say. That document is currently in the possession of the Altoona Police Department as part of their investigation. But just from briefly speaking with them, we don't think that there's any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document. But it does seem that he has some ill will toward corporate America. Huh.
If that seems noteworthy to Chief Kenney, then he's part of a dwindling minority. According to a 2022 Pew study, some 71% of Americans feel some ill will toward corporate America, a sharp rise in just the last few years.
You probably don't know me, but I am one of those .01 percenters that you hear about, read about, and I am by any reasonable definition a plutocrat. This is Nick Hanauer, a venture capitalist and entrepreneur delivering a TED Talk in 2014, 10 years ago. And tonight, what I would like to do is speak directly to other plutocrats, to my people, because it feels like it's time for us all
to have a chat. He described his incredibly lavish life, achieved through what he calls luck, hard work, and a couple key talents. I have a good sense, a good intuition about what will happen in the future. So what do I see in our future today? You ask? I see pitchforks, as in angry mobs with pitchforks.
Because while people like us, plutocrats, are living beyond the dreams of avarice, the other 99% of our fellow citizens are falling farther and farther behind. He laid out the accelerating rate of income inequality in America. And if wealth, power, and income continue to concentrate at the very tippy top,
Our society will change from a capitalist democracy to a neo-feudalist rentier society like 18th century France. That was, you know, France before the revolution and the mobs with the pitchforks. So I have a message for my fellow plutocrats and zillionaires and for anyone who lives in a gated bubble world. Wake up. Wake up. It cannot last. Revolutions happen.
Can we still assume in today's America that it can't happen here? The murder, as horrific as it was, was not the most important news in this sobering saga. It was our reaction to it. Was it a sign of what Adrien LaFrance called de-civilization? Or was it Nick Hanauer's wake-up call?
As we try to understand what this moment means, one thing is clear. The massive disconnect between this week's conversations on social media and in the once-hallowed op-ed pages. It felt like two different planets orbiting two different suns. We can only hope the fact-based media finds a way to close the distance. ♪

This is On The Media. I'm Brooke Gladstone. And I'm Michael Loewinger. For the rest of the hour, we're airing part two of our series we made in collaboration with the Boston Globe, looking at how American colleges and universities have become a political punching bag with a focus on the oldest and richest of them all, Harvard.
To recap, the latest salvo against elite universities began in earnest a year ago, after the Hamas attack on October 7th sparked Israel's ongoing war in Gaza. College campuses became a locus for protest, and the media couldn't look away. America's elite colleges are a world apart from the war in Gaza, but protests about the war are putting them at the center of a growing controversy.
At Harvard, a letter written by the Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and originally co-signed by 33 other Harvard student organizations blamed Israel entirely for the attack. The university leadership response wasn't deemed strong enough by either the protesters or by the community of donors and alumni who began to complain online about the tolerance for what they saw as anti-Semitism at their alma mater.
As the newly inaugurated president of Harvard and the first black woman and only second woman to occupy that role, Claudine Gay was in the hot seat. Then the Republican-controlled House Committee on Education in the Workforce got interested.
and hauled in the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania for a grilling. So based upon your testimony, you understand that this call for Intifada is to commit genocide against the Jewish people in Israel and globally, correct? The drubbing in the press of the three leaders was instant and devastating. But for Claudine Gay, it was just the beginning of her unraveling.
In this week's episode of a series we're calling The Harvard Plan, reporter Ilya Merits documents the role of journalists and activists in gay's plagiarism scandal. Here's Ilya.
The Yale Halloween costume controversy of 2015 is not much remembered today. But for Aaron Sabarium, it was decisive. So let me just preface this by saying I'm only speaking in a personal capacity. Sabarium is now a reporter with the Washington Free Beacon. These do not reflect those of my employer or anyone else in my immediate professional orbit, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Back then, Sabarium was a Yale sophomore and opinion editor of the Yale Daily News, a
Shortly before Halloween, the university's Committee on Intercultural Affairs sent out an email on blast about how not to dress for the holiday. Avoid cultural appropriation. Be respectful of everyone. Don't wear offensive costumes. Great boilerplate bureaucratic stuff. Then a lecturer named Erica Christakis, Harvard College class of 1986,
sent a follow-up email to students in the residential college where she worked with her own take. More or less saying, ah, you shouldn't expect the university to police Halloween costumes, talk to each other if you're offended. That was really it. Christakis, who is an early childhood specialist, opined,
Is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious, a little bit inappropriate, or provocative, or yes, offensive? And campus goes crazy. Oh my God, she's defending blackface. She's X, Y, and Z. Then her husband, a Yale professor, also got swept into it. And next thing you know, her husband, who's the head of the whole residential college, is encircled by screaming students in the courtyard.
It became a whole thing, with The Atlantic, The New York Times and other news outlets getting in on the story.
The editors of the Yale Daily News, of which Saberiam was one, met to decide what kind of editorial they wanted to write on this. It became very clear two minutes into the meeting that anyone who pushed back was going to get called racist. Saberiam was in the minority, but as the opinion editor, it fell to him to write a piece that reflected the majority view, not his own. And so I ended up having to write this sobbing, saccharine editorial about
how horrible people of color at Yale are treated, and how the administration hasn't done enough to elevate their voices, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And obviously I didn't
believe in any of this. You know, I thought the whole controversy was nuts. He saw how it resonated, though, and he wanted to cover colleges in the aggressive, skeptical way he thought they deserved. So after Yale, he found his way to the Washington Free Beacon, a pugnacious right-wing outlet whose motto, flanked by two cartoon missiles, is covering the enemies of freedom the way the mainstream media won't. There he made college controversies his beat.
Years later, when things blew up at Harvard, Sybarium got out the popcorn. It was fun to watch them squirm because they couldn't issue a full-throated condemnation of Hamas without really pissing off a certain small slice of activists. But they couldn't not issue such a statement because then Jewish students and donors, as they did, were going to say, what the hell, guys? And yeah, I kind of thought that was delicious.
Sabariam has a scruffy beard and describes himself as a secular Jew and a big believer in free speech. He wasn't writing much about the Harvard crisis until one day, just after the congressional hearing where Claudine Gay testified, he received a tip from an anonymous source. It was about Claudine Gay's plagiarism. So I thought, wow, this could be big, but I don't want to get my hopes up. He did his due diligence and the tip checked out.
On December 11, 2023, his story ran in the Free Beacon, asserting that Gay had taken from others work on four papers published between 1993 and 2017.
Harvard's rolling crisis had entered a new phase. The university says Claudine Gay has now asked that corrections be made to her 1997 dissertation because of what it called inadequate citations. In a statement to multiple news outlets, Harvard says the university reviewed more of Gay's academic work and that the president plans to update her dissertation to correct instances of quote inadequate citation, stopping short of calling it plagiarism.
I found reviewing Claudine Gay's alleged plagiarism to be tedious. It's about matching four words here, six words there, about a paragraph that looks to be around 70% the same as someone else's work, and so much academic jargon. Some of the alleged lapses are in the description of methods or the review of others' writing. Language here can be jargony and formulaic and repetitive, and that's expected.
It seems clear, though, that she was at best sloppy. Even professors who are sympathetic to Gay say they are troubled by this stuff. But I'm calling it alleged plagiarism because Harvard's own review did not conclude Gay's errors met its standards for plagiarism. Instead, it said she had left out citations and quotation marks in several articles. The reviewers said Gay's work still stands as original and that she did not intentionally claim other people's work as her own.
After that review, yet more examples of Gay's alleged lapses were reported. We now come to the scuzzy side of this whole affair. The plagiarism allegations fueled attacks on Gay that were ugly and personal. Claudine Gay has revealed she faced death threats and was repeatedly called the N-word in recent weeks as a right-wing activist.
Gay and her family began receiving 24-7 police protection. You might as well murder somebody in academia if you're going to plagiarize your dissertation, okay? Harvard is committed to DEI, and Claudia Gay's race protected her from losing her job. It's outrageous. That's right. The president of what is supposed to be America's most prestigious university is accused of plagiarism on top of everything else.
That was the public side of the plagiarism conversation. I want to show you what I've learned about what was going on behind the scenes. These plagiarism allegations didn't come out of nowhere. They emerged from a complex web of tips and axes to grind. The whole picture may never be clear, but it's useful to examine what we do know. Because a close reading of one academic's footnotes and quotation marks became a referendum on diversity, equity, and inclusion.</raw_text>

2019年,一个名叫克里斯托弗·鲁福(Christopher Rufo)的人第一次出现在福克斯的塔克·卡尔森(Tucker Carlson)节目上。他谈论的是他当时居住的西雅图的无家可归问题。鲁福的外表是干净利落的年轻父亲。他用完整而有力的句子表达。他一定在电视上表现得很好,因为他被邀请回来了。
到2020年,鲁福已经从城市生活质量问题转向了另一个问题。简单来说,批判种族理论是一种学术学科,认为美国是建立在种族主义、白人至上主义和父权制之上的,这些力量至今仍是我们社会的根源。塔克,这是我过去六个月一直在调查的事情,批判种族理论如何渗透到联邦政府的每一个机构中,真是令人震惊。
这不是一种关于教授种族主义的良性哲学。这是一种根植于马克思主义的激进哲学。在其中一次露面之后,时任总统特朗普下令政府机构削减敏感性培训项目。正如《纽约时报》所指出的,从鲁福在电视上的发言到行政命令之间似乎有一条直接的联系。
现在,哈佛的许多批评者都是校友。埃莉斯·斯特凡尼克(Elise Stefanik)、比尔·阿克曼(Bill Ackman)等等。并不是很多人知道,在这个时候,克里斯托弗·鲁福入读了哈佛。
具体来说,他进入了一个硕士项目,并于2022年获得学位。是在哈佛扩展学院,这是一个比其他哈佛学院更容易进入的机构。它是为在职成年人设计的,大部分教学在线进行。当鲁福出版他的书《美国的文化革命》时,他的封面传记宣传了他在哈佛的硕士学位。
鲁福的书已成为大学中反对觉醒文化的批评者的圣经。它追溯了当前多样性和种族和解努力的知识根源,回溯到1960年代和70年代的激进分子。他在播客上宣传这本书。
批判种族理论家非常专注于建立一种教学法。他说,当他们的革命失败时,他们退回到大学,孵化了许多如今变得庞大的概念。系统性种族主义、白人性、白人特权、交叉性等。这些核心思想现在无处不在。曾经是非常边缘的学术思想,仅限于少数这些学者和知识分子。
对于一些有影响力的哈佛校友来说,鲁福的思想是变革性的。对冲基金亿万富翁、推特影响者、哈佛大学1988届校友比尔·阿克曼称鲁福的书《美国的文化革命》是“……我读过的更重要的书之一。”另一位对冲基金亿万富翁和哈佛大学1989届校友肯·格里芬(Ken Griffin)提到“……这场文化革命在美国教育中。”
就在几个月前,格里芬似乎对哈佛感到满意。在2023年春季,大学宣布格里芬向文理学院捐赠3亿美元,当时由克劳丁·盖(Claudine Gay)领导。完全不受限制。
在一年内,他完全改变了口风,称美国大学生“坦率地说,就像抱怨的雪花。我们在美国的精英学校教育上到底要走向何方?”
克里斯托弗·鲁福并没有停止对大学的强烈关注。因为在2023年12月10日,在亚伦·萨巴里安之前一天,他发表了一篇文章,揭露了克劳丁·盖的抄袭指控。然后他再次上了电视。事实很清楚,现在必须做出的决定非常简单。
哈佛是重视真理还是重视DEI以及在其大学层级顶部拥有正确的种族和性别象征?我们多次请求鲁福接受采访。他拒绝评论。但鲁福有一位合著者。
他确实发言了。你是如何得到这个故事的?是什么促使你想追求这个的?《波士顿环球报》的媒体记者艾登·瑞安(Aidan Ryan),哈佛大学2021届校友,去年一月与这位合著者进行了交谈。我不确定你对我在这方面的参与有多熟悉。认识克里斯·布伦内特(Chris Brunette)。是的,另一个克里斯。他是来自加拿大的Substack作者。
我在《每日呼叫者新闻基金会》担任调查记者。《每日呼叫者新闻基金会》是一个与一个以愤怒为驱动的媒体公司相关的非营利组织,该公司由培养克里斯·鲁福职业生涯的塔克·卡尔森创立。布伦内特告诉艾登,他是将这个故事带给鲁福的人。以下是他所说的事情是如何发生的。
布伦内特曾怀疑另一位哈佛政府学者伪造数据。顺便说一下,这从未被证明。但在他挖掘的过程中,布伦内特对克劳丁·盖产生了兴趣。《每日呼叫者》不想要布伦内特的报道,所以他在自己的Substack上发布。
一年过去了。
克劳丁·盖被提升为校长。然后有一个线索进来了。就像亚伦·萨巴里安在《自由灯塔》看到的线索一样,这个线索说盖的文章抄袭了其他学者的工作。
布伦内特随后接触了克里斯·鲁福。鲁福对此感兴趣。他们花了几天时间进行报道。是的。
经过多年的荒野挖掘,布伦内特终于获得了一个能让他引起注意的报道胜利。他告诉艾登,他实际上在学术界记录了自己的时间。他不仅仅是在报道。布伦内特之前曾是芝加哥大学一位经济学家的研究助理,该经济学家因将呼吁削减警察的BLM活动家与平地球者进行比较而受到其他经济学家的攻击。
这位教授仍然保留着他的工作。布伦内特在福克斯新闻上为这位教授辩护。这或多或少让我被我申请的每个博士项目拒绝。我几乎被取消了。这大致上是我的动机。我感到愤怒和苦涩。因此,可以说对学术界的怨恨是关于克劳丁·盖和抄袭的第一篇故事背后的一个动机。但克里斯·布伦内特的消息来源是谁?他们的动机是什么?布伦内特没有透露。
尽管如此,如果你与哈佛政府系内部的人交谈,克里斯·布伦内特所写的地方,并没有得到很多关注,那些当时在场的人记得有一位特别的研究生似乎在课程上挣扎。这位学生对系里的许多人提出了大量关于学术不端的指控。
我们真的不知道这个人是否是消息来源。当我通过电子邮件联系他们时,他们没有确认或否认任何角色。但他们在信息中包含了我见过的关于克劳丁·盖的最丑陋的事情。只是提一下,克里斯和克里斯的报道团队已经不复存在。在他们最初的成功之后,鲁福为布伦内特提供了一个奖学金,以支持他的工作。
但随后,根据鲁福的说法,布伦内特与同事们发生了很多争执。他还在网上传播反犹太内容,并称鲁福为以色列资产。根据布伦内特的说法,鲁福在推特上将他屏蔽了。接下来,访问“颠倒世界”。这是《媒体之上》。

这是《媒体之上》。我是布鲁克·格拉德斯通。我是迈克尔·洛温格。我们正在收听关于哈佛领导危机系列的第二集。当我们在休息前离开时,两位名叫克里斯的保守派作家合作撰写了一篇爆炸性故事,指控哈佛校长抄袭。我们继续与记者伊利亚·梅里茨(Ilya Merits)交谈,他与另一位记者交谈,后者的抄袭报道紧随其后。
所以,我有很多问题。我请《自由灯塔》的亚伦·萨巴里安(Aaron Sabariam)帮助我理清他与克里斯们,鲁福和布伦内特,如何在几乎同一时刻报道几乎相同的故事。鲁福称这是团队合作。你们彼此知道对方的报道吗?你知道还有其他人在这个故事上吗?你们有沟通吗?不,我不知道。绝对没有任何协调。我真的不知道他们在这个上面。
萨巴里安说这纯粹是偶然。事实上,当克里斯们首先发布时,他有点不高兴。但后来他看到了一个故事接连发布的效果,他感到高兴。这几乎是一个有效的几乎一二连击。更重要的是,它为主流媒体接手一个他们可能不会自己指派的故事创造了一个许可结构,萨巴里安的话。从那一刻起……
《纽约时报》特别活跃,调动其他领域的记者来报道这个故事。我在抄袭指控浮出水面和盖辞去校长职务之间的三周内,数了近50篇聚焦于这一危机的文章。
《波士顿环球报》当然也大力报道了,家乡报纸。一篇社论指责哈佛在努力为盖辩护的过程中模糊了应该清晰的抄袭界限。
尽管如此,我对萨巴里安报道的起源感到好奇,像克里斯们一样,始于一个线索。他写道他的消息来源是一位来自另一所大学的教授。你写道你验证了他们的身份,但我不相信你告诉我们他们是谁。我不知道他们是谁。你能说些什么关于指控的来源?
我的意思是,我不能说比报道中更多的内容,那就是那位匿名的个体是一位来自另一所大学的教授。令人震惊的是,2023年秋季关于盖的学术工作的线索有多少。亚伦·萨巴里安得到了一个。克里斯·布伦内特也得到了一个。我看到了一封来自匿名电子邮件账户的线索,发送给五个不同的新闻机构,显然是在大型听证会的前一天。
此外,《纽约邮报》也在进行自己的抄袭故事。但当《邮报》接触哈佛寻求评论时,哈佛的律师回应称,发布该文章可能构成诽谤。我认为,这确实在投诉者的心中产生了合理的恐惧,并强化了投诉者希望保持匿名的愿望。就我自己和我认为其他人的故事动机而言,我只是认为哈佛这所世界上最著名大学的校长抄袭是值得报道的。
所有这些话说完,对于一个享受辩论切磋的人,萨巴里安也承认了很多观点。就像他在某种程度上认为,围绕克劳丁·盖的整个风暴是过度反应。所谓的抄袭?没那么糟糕。与许多其他人相比,她并没有被卷入抄袭丑闻的同一水平。她真的像被描绘的那样是DEI的使徒吗?嗯。我
那么他自己的工作呢,指责真实的人,学者和管理者?
他告诉我,当这些人变成仇恨的目标时,他感到很糟糕。但要写一个问题,你需要一个主角。坦率地说,没有某种主要角色被卷入交火中,你就不可能对他们进行审查。
他告诉我关于哥伦比亚大学的一些院长,他获得了他们的短信并进行了报道。它们包含了一些关于犹太人的令人不安的刻板印象。这并不是像恶毒的反犹太主义,但它们可能触及了一些令人不安的陈规。他们最终辞职了。所以我认为所有这些院长都是讨厌犹太人的邪恶怪物。不,当然不是。
但你知道,当人们看到你的故事时,他们会这样想。我知道。我知道。我只是不知道还有其他方法来揭示这些东西。2015年,亚伦·萨巴里安对他所看到的耶鲁大学针对两位管理员的万圣节服装的政治正确姿态感到震惊。
他可能会说这不是一个公平的比较,但值得指出的是,在2023年,他和克里斯们进行了报道,推动了社交媒体的围攻,帮助罢免了克劳丁·盖。虽然亚伦·萨巴里安和克里斯托弗·鲁福并没有在他们的抄袭报道中合作,但确实有联系。他们的薪水,两人的收入,部分依赖于你还未见过的亿万富翁对他们的慷慨支持。
教授们。大多数情况下,他们几乎无可救药。保罗·辛格(Paul Singer),哈佛法学院1969届校友,并不经常公开发言。但当他发言时,他毫不保留。那些不是紧握毛泽东《小红书》的激进左翼傻瓜的微不足道的数量……
都聚集在地下室,低声说出真相,而暴徒和疯狂的人则在广场上对犹太人大喊大叫。——在去年夏天的曼哈顿研究所晚宴上,辛格抨击大学是马克思主义者和仇犹太者的避风港。
辛格是《自由灯塔》的主要资助者,亚伦·萨巴里安在该平台上发布了他的独家报道。他还是曼哈顿研究所的资助者和主席,克里斯托弗·鲁福是该所的学者。这意味着两人的工作都得到了一个显然对大学发展方向非常愤怒的非常富有的人的支持。辛格拒绝评论。克劳丁·盖于2024年1月2日辞去哈佛校长职务,正好在众议院听证会后四周。
她在给社区的消息中写道,当我短暂的校长任期被铭记时,我希望它被视为重新觉醒的重要时刻,努力寻找我们共同的人性,而不允许仇恨和谩骂破坏教育这一重要过程。
看来盖确实是被引导到这个职位的。我在报道这个故事的过程中了解到,哈佛公司多次要求她提名自己为校长。她是前任校长拉里·巴考(Larry Bacow)任命的三位黑人女性之一。巴考以培养人才的能力而闻名。
有人可以说哈佛公司应该做更多的工作来审查她。而一旦她被雇用,他们应该为可能的反弹做好准备。克劳丁·盖现在已经离开。我们揭露了DEI制度,还有更多内容即将到来。在克劳丁·盖辞职的第二天,克里斯托弗·鲁福在《华尔街日报》上发表了一篇文章,声称自己为她的垮台负责——
在整个运动中,他写道,我采取了非传统的方法,实时叙述策略,解释保守派如何塑造媒体叙事并对哈佛施加压力。他将对哈佛的攻击与对迪士尼、塔吉特和百威的攻击联系起来,并欣然指出佛罗里达州、德克萨斯州和其他州已禁止公立大学的多样性、公平和包容计划。
哈利尔·吉布兰·穆罕默德(Khalil Gibran Muhammad)是哈佛肯尼迪学院的教授。因此,在公立大学中,各州提出了大约100项法案,其中一些已通过,使大学的DEI办公室变得非法。穆罕默德可能是该大学最直言不讳的DEI项目辩护者,尽管他即将离开哈佛前往普林斯顿。
穆罕默德在DEI的反弹来临时已经在追踪。他说,我现在可以在我的电脑上给你展示。这并不需要太多。在他的办公室电脑上,他调出了克劳丁·盖作证的同一众议院教育委员会听证会的片段。你可以清楚地看到。给我看看。让我们这样做。在任何大学校长有机会发言之前。这是个好问题。
显然,大学中的狂热反犹太主义与这两个想法是无法分开的。在她的开场白中,委员会主席维吉尼亚·福克斯(Virginia Fox)提到了穆罕默德当学期教授的一门课程。他称之为一个令人震惊的时刻。这种意识形态在哈佛的一个典型例子是,教授的课程包括
D.P. 385。D.P.I. 种族和种族主义在美国作为全球强国的形成中。是的。砰。就是这样。就像,哇,真的?所以提到的第一门课程就是我的课程。然后她继续引用另外两门课程。历史和近期视角。
甚至哈佛神学院也有一页专门用于“社会和种族正义”。穆罕默德的课程名为《种族和种族主义在美国作为全球强国的形成中》。它包括关于美国反犹太主义和纳粹德国在谋杀数百万犹太人过程中采用的种族法的阅读材料。
我问维吉尼亚·福克斯她是如何得知这门课程的。她没有回答。但一位发言人表示,这体现了压迫者-被压迫者框架,她说,这助长了大学校园中的反犹太主义。福克斯似乎在说,一门包括关于反犹太主义的教学的课程现在成为了大学如何鼓励反犹太主义的证据。对穆罕默德来说,这就是我们进入颠倒世界的时刻。关于大学领导层在保护犹太人方面所做的工作,如何转变为指责我和其他教授种族和种族主义的根本原因。
穆罕默德坦率地承认,一些DEI研讨会可能会使人们感到疏远。至于犹太人和反犹太主义的适用性,他表示,DEI框架最初是围绕种族而非宗教身份构思的。它错过了很多。那么,许多DEI办公室没有建立来解决基于宗教的歧视,这是否是一个公平的批评?是的,我同意。现在正在改变,他说。
我看到的是,DEI已经成为一个被我们越来越愚蠢的、社交媒体驱动的讨论所囚禁的术语。州长,一些共和党人试图将桥梁坍塌归咎于鼓励工作场所多样性的政策。例如,在弗朗西斯·斯科特·基(Francis Scott Key)桥坍塌后,CNN的达娜·巴什(Dana Bash)与马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔(Wes Moore)之间的这场绝对令人难以置信的交流——
摩尔是黑人。一位正在竞选州长的犹他州州代表发推文称,“当你有优先考虑多样性的州长而不是公民的福祉和安全时,这就是发生的事情。”基桥于1977年完工。它被一艘集装箱船撞击。另一位在佛罗里达州竞选国会的共和党人发布了帖子,称“DEI做的这一切”。
你的回应是什么?实际上,让我们不要听摩尔州长的回应。让我们看看DEI恐慌的影响。例如,德克萨斯州目前不允许在学校教授奴隶制,除非将其视为与美国自由原则的偏差。
但这更像是一个矛盾,因为我们很难解释为什么我们在这个国家的奴隶制持续的时间比自由的时间还要长。所以这没有意义。它不符合学术标准。这是一个谎言。德克萨斯州正在立法一个谎言。DEI恐慌最初在红州和公立机构中取得了最大的成功。现在,穆罕默德说,它正在精英私立学校中取得进展。
就在四年前,克劳丁·盖的前任校长拉里·巴考开始使用“结构性种族主义”和“白人至上主义”等术语。大学加速了多样性计划。可以说,哈佛和迪士尼等地迅速采用包容性项目是其自身的一种社交媒体驱动的传染病。无论如何,现在一切都结束了。
哈佛的新校长仍然将多样性视为核心价值,但穆罕默德看到的是安静的退缩。他们尚未拆除建立的办公室,但哈佛大学几乎没有对这些工作的公开辩护。在高等教育中,许多最有权势的大学中几乎找不到声音,许多大学在这项工作中曾发挥领导作用。追求DEI的方式是否可能是一个错误?
我的意思是,考虑到反应的激烈程度,以及正如你所说的,现在在许多地方,这段历史甚至无法教授,或者无法以你认为应有的完整性进行教授。最初以这种方式追求DEI是否是一个错误?是否还有其他方法可以进行美国需要进行的对话?不,不。你会再次这样做。我会再次这样做。是的,因为……
你无法通过迎合那些致力于结构性种族主义和新殖民主义形式的人来解决问题。你无法解决这个问题。通往正义的道路只有通过真相和教育,句号。
这些斗争有一种疯狂的循环性。批评者说,大学校园已经变得意识形态僵化,对异议观点,尤其是保守观点不容忍。这正是亚伦·萨巴里安在万圣节服装争议中所看到的。他们的解决方案,如维吉尼亚·福克斯和克里斯·鲁福所宣扬的,是放弃DEI,告诉教师他们可以和不能教授的内容,并压制自由派声音。
那么,谁真的相信言论自由和学术自由?在12月5日的证词中,如果你回去听的话,反犹太主义的解决方案是教育,是培训。
你们大学的每位教职员工和每位学生都应该学习反犹太主义的历史。你们有多少门关于反犹太主义的课程?有多少犹太人在教授他们民族的历史?我的意思是,他们实际上是对的,这只显示了他们对种族和种族主义的批评的道德虚伪,认为这正在摧毁高等教育,促进审查制度,而不是促进自由思考。
在克劳丁·盖辞职后的几个月里,克里斯·鲁福对哈佛的更多黑人女性提出了指控,称她们的学术工作低劣。这些女性保住了她们的工作。
支持巴勒斯坦的营地在全国各地的校园中涌现,使大学持续成为头条新闻。是时候从激进左翼手中夺回我们曾经伟大的教育机构了。特朗普大学的创始人,一个现在已解散的、未经认证的、营利性的学习骗局机构,承诺利用政府的力量来挤压真正的大学。我们的秘密武器将是大学认证
