Konstantin's Reflections on our BAD FAITH criticism (Patreon)

Just in case you missed it.

Here is Konstantin's reaction to our critical episode and some Twitter shenanigans.

The article he references from the New Statesman is here: https://www.newstatesman.com/encounter/2023/01/konstantin-kisindont-interivew-misrepresent-me

It is a harsh article, which is actually all I said about it on Twitter.

Counter to what Konstantin implies the New Statesman also did not admit to making things up. They removed a single quote of Konstantin telling the journalist it would be bad for him if he misrepresented Konstantin. The journalist did not have a recording (as it is alleged to have happened when leaving when the interview was over) and so the New Statesman demurred likely to avoid hassle. They also made two minor edits to wording that Konstantin complained about. These were irrelevant to the core message of the piece. Nonetheless, it's the kind of thing that lets Konstantin paint himself as a victim of a biased media.

Not hugely relevant to us but it gets lumped in together and used to dismiss the validity of any points we raised.

Ho hum... this is a rather familiar pattern, as our last bonus episode discussed!
