Harlan Crow speaks following investigation

Real Estate heir opens up about Thomas Scandal, Nazi artifacts in interview



( excerpt )

“I think that the media, and this ProPublica group in particular, funded by leftists, has an agenda to destabilize the [Supreme] Court,” Crow told the outlet. “What they’ve done is not truthful. It lacks integrity. They’ve done a pretty good job in the last week or two of unfairly slamming me and more importantly than that, unfairly slamming Justice Thomas.”

Stephen Engelberg, editor-in-chief of ProPublica, responded, noting that ProPublica is an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit news organization funded by 36,000 donors.

“As investigative journalists, our job is to unearth the facts. If Harlan Crow disputes the accuracy of our reporting involving Justice Clarence Thomas, we invite him to provide us with the details so we can correct any inaccuracies,” he said.

“It’s worth noting that he and Justice Thomas were given detailed, written questions in advance of our stories. Thomas declined to respond. Crow’s answers were included in full. He questioned none of the facts we reported.”

And then just plays the victim of "leftists" who are "unfairly slamming" him by reporting those facts. His intended audience will understand that it's unfair because they are leftists, so the facts don't matter.
