The Shadow Author

May 9, 2008

David Horowitz vies with Dick Morris for the title of most prolific wingnut author nobody bothers to read. Now it appears that Horowitz has taken it a step further: He doesn’t even bother to write the books nobody bothers to read.

    [...] You say you don’t want to waste your time reading David Horowitz’s nonsensical wingnut books? That’s okay – turns out Horowitz himself doesn’t want to waste his time writing them. [...]

    Al Franken exposed this a few years back as well, with Horowitz and his “researchers” making some glaring mistakes along the way… but Horowitz still hasn’t been shamed into changing his ways, as far as I can tell. It’s much easier for sales when you’re just regurgitating comforting BS to the authoritarians and dittoheads…. ya know, as opposed to doing research or supplying reasoned analysis. Propaganda takes less work than scholarship.
