With all this fake college talk of the past two weeks....I think I’d go to each one of these journals, and ask these people about their degree, and if they are actually smart enough to publish.

It seems obvious to me that the editor Stossel is talking to is demon possessed.

Especially the journalists whose parents were rich or well-connected.

Yawn. Expected the Smollett hoax. Was disappointed.

The reason this is important is it shows that many academic journals are not vetted. They publish anything they think validates their point of view.

Saying something is "peer reviewed" and "published in an academic journal" tells us nothing about the article's validity.

He sure is uncomfortable, especially when talking about the fake article “Back Door Entry to Reduce Transphobia ....”

Who wouldn’t be uncomfortable with that topic?
