The beginning of a nerd feud: ESWN calls Tsao Chip out on his op-ed piece on Susan Sontag. ESWN accuses Tsao cherry-picks one or two lines out of Sontag's works and condemns the whole category of Tsao's so called "American leftist intellectuals," and gratingly, got "paid very well for doing that." And what's even worse, the op-ed is "factually challenged"--Tsao says Sontag never visited China.
Sontag, of course, visited China, more than once. And she herself was in all likelihood "Made in China." Her parents lived and made a living in Tianjin, China; she was probably conceived in China and only later born in New York. Her biological father died in China and the name Sontag was taken from her stepfather.
Tsao fail.

ReplyDeleteHe said he reads six books at any one time. Maybe he forgot what he'd read about Sontag.
I remember respectable newspaper/magazine publishers hire people whose job it is to check for facts & data in order to insure factual accuracy in their articles. I don't know whether there are such people at the Apple Daily or they do not do that for its columnists.
I think The New Yorker did or still does that. They are the fact checkers.
