In reply to the discussion: Mensch gets backup from CNN analyst: [View all]Orrex
(66,835 posts)I'd be interested to learn who is doing that.
I've seen plenty of Mensch threads, most of which are either regurgitations of her tweets or else links to articles on her blog. These threads often attract critics and skeptics, but that's appropriate and is to be expected.
I've seen far fewer OPs started about her by her skeptics, and several of those have in fact been complaints about her supporters' rejection of her skeptics.
Among her non-supporters, the overwhelming majority that I've seen have simply been calling for corroboration or have been urging readers to "wait and see" before heralding her proclamations as true. Several, with credibly asserted expertise, have identified basic and fundamental errors in some of her claims, and these errors alone should cause us to keep her at arm's length until she's demonstrated a more clearly successful track record.
